In plain words

Faker is a Go library that generates fake structured data for testing and development purposes. It creates realistic dummy information such as names, addresses, and other common data types. Developers use it to populate test databases, mock APIs, and build prototypes without relying on real data. The tool automates tedious test data creation, making it useful for anyone building Go applications who needs quick, varied fake information.

That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
