Re: Lorem
Your project manager sounds dumb, but Lorem Ipsum is a bad idea for development in general. It just confuses people, including clients, as you saw and wrote. Apps in staging should be seeded with real-looking information and text, and there are plenty of seeding libraries out there that do this. If you need to generate paragraphs of text, there is non-lorem text seeders that create real English paragraphs.
- mattbgates 4y agoI tried putting "English gibberish" in there, from cupcake ipsum (https://cupcakeipsum.com/ https://cupcakeipsum.com/) to bacon ipsum (https://baconipsum.com/ https://baconipsum.com/) and was told to stop. We can't put regular English text in the content because they send us the actual content they want in English and there can be up to 5 to 10 sets eyes of project managers on the same project, who might get confused as to whether this is the actual text or not. I suppose we could've put "THIS TEXT IS PLACEHOLDER" but unless required, Lorem Ipsum is standard procedure text. >Lorem Ipsum is a piece of text, used by designers to fill a space where the content will eventually sit. It helps show how text will look once a piece of content is finished, during the planning phase. Filler text has been widely used for centuries, so most people are familiar with seeing Lorem Ipsum on a mock design. https://www.solopress.com/blog/copywriting-typography/what-is-lorem-ipsum-and-why-is-it-used/#:~:text=Lorem%20Ipsum%20is%20a%20piece,Ipsum%20on%20a%20mock%20design https://www.solopress.com/blog/copywriting-typography/what-i....
