Wikipedia explains Lorem Ipsum as “placeholder text (filler text) commonly used to demonstrate the graphic elements of a document or visual presentation, such as font, typography, and layout.” Basically, this gives designers one less thing to worry about, so as not to get in the way of the creative process.
If you don’t like doing a search online for “Lorem Ipsum”, finding the right amount of text needed, and then copy/paste into your design every time you need to use Lorem Ipsum, then you should download Loremify. This widget allows for quick and easy grabs of the perfect amount of text for your needs.
Tobias Bjerrome Ahlin is the interface designer who developed this awesome tool, and he describes it as follows:
“Loremify is a free Mac app to quickly copy Lorem Ipsum to your clipboard. It lets you wrap the dummy text in HTML or markdown, specify the amount of text, and copy it to your clipboard—all in one click.”
Here is an example from Tobias Ahlin’s blog of Loremify in action.
The interface is clean and simple.
