Hello 👋 Welcome to my corner of the internet. I write here about the different challenges I encounter, and the projects I work on. Find out more about me.
I’ve created the gem silly-id to generate random names in a heroku-like manner, based on your locale. I’ve forked it from an existing heroku-like name generator called haikunator, and I’ve extended it to select the nouns and adjectives based on your locale.
To change the locale used, set your appropriate locale using I18n.locale=.
For the first release, English and Dutch are supported, as those are the use-cases I needed to support myself.
If you’d like to contribute, or have a look at the code, have a look at silly-id on Github. The gem itself is hosted on RubyGems: silly-id.
