Developer's Best Friend app contains handy tools that a software developer could use for fake data, passwords, text, etc. It has three features:
- Lorem Ipsum
- Generates random latin text, which can be used as filler in during the development of a project.
- Random User Generator
- Creates 1 to 100 fake profiles with names and pictures. The user can check off whether they want the profiles to have attributes like DOB, location, company, phone number, e-mail, favorite color, and favorite quote.
- xkcd Password Generator
- Creates a password that is a sequence of 1 to 10 common words strung together. The user can decide whether to insert hyphens between characters, capitalize the first letter of each word, or put a special symbol or number at the end of the password.

No login required.
The public/assets/ directory holds the CSS files for the views, the JS for the copy function in the lorem ipsum generator, the images that I used for the header (a few iterations...), and the file that I used to generate the word array for the password generator.
