Why ALIFF?

As a web developer I sometimes have to fill forms and content pages to test them out. I've tried a few different form fillers and lorem ipsum generators and they usually lack some feature: no support for content editable fields, no html generation, no support for various field types and options are usally limited or complicated. So I've created ALIFF to combine all these features in a single place and make them simple to use.
