Best Practices

Realistic Mockups

Use realistic content lengths that match your actual data
Vary content lengths to simulate real-world scenarios
Test with both short and long content to check text overflow

Presentation Tips

Replace placeholder content with real data before client presentations
Use lorem ipsum for early wireframes, realistic data for high-fidelity mockups
Ensure placeholder data doesn't accidentally go into production

Testing Layouts

Generate extra-long content to test text wrapping and overflow
Test with very short content to identify empty state issues
Use varied content lengths across list items to simulate real data

⚠️ Privacy Note

All generated data is completely fictional and randomly created. Names, addresses, and other personal information do not correspond to real individuals.
