why we built it

faker.js died, then was reborn, then split into three forks. fakeit is the boring one that just works, doesn’t depend on internet, and ships realistic non-anglo names by default.

no telemetry. no signup. seedable for reproducible fixtures. 28 locales out of the box. mit forever — the source is public and the npm package is yours to fork.
