spent way too long testing mockaroo, fakerjs, and a few others before building MockHero. every single one made me choose between "easy to use" and "actually realistic data." that gap is basically the whole reason this exists now.

Most tools generate English-only data, then slap a country code on it. MockHero does it differently: - DE → "Maximilian Bergmann" at "Friedrichstraße 42, 10117 Berlin" - JP → "田中太郎" at "東京都渋谷区神宮前1-2-3" - FR → "Élise Moreau" at "15 Rue de Rivoli, 75001 Paris"

Your i18n tests are useless if every test user is named "John Smith" from "New York."

What makes test data "realistic"? 1. Names match the locale 2. Emails follow real patterns 3. Phone numbers have valid formats per country 4. Addresses use real city + postal code combos 5. Foreign keys reference records that actually exist

"We don't need realistic test data, we just need data." Said every team 6 months before a locale bug hit production on launch day
