Names tied to the sex field
New options for generated people, with names tied to the sex field and changes to the full name.
RNDGen goes public at rndgen.com
The internal tool became a public website at rndgen.com, with a sitemap and search engine setup so developers could find it.
A password generator
RNDGen added a password generator next to the data generator, built in a few quick iterations by the end of January 2023.
A new design
The generator got a new look, lighter images and the groundwork for search engines, ahead of its public launch.
Custom fields with your own value lists
A field whose values come from a list you write, for departments, statuses, product categories or anything a standard field type does not cover.
Excel export and zip downloads
Generated data could be downloaded as an Excel file, and downloads were packed into a zip archive.
Format settings for downloads
Settings for how the downloaded file is written, so it fits the tool you load it into.
First templates and a default number of rows
Ready-made templates gave a new dataset a working set of fields from the start, and the generator got a sensible default row count.
A field editor with drag and drop
The generator got a field editor where fields are put in order by dragging them.
RNDGen starts at Web Design Sun
Web Design Sun began building a test data generator for its own projects. The first commit is dated 28 October 2022.
