Have you ever needed to have a generic name for a project so you didn't tip off the competition? Do you struggle with coming up with code names which don't give others hints about what you are up to? Do you want to plan that NEXT BIG THING without letting that company across the street (or on the other side of the world) in on the secret? If so, you need the Code Name Generatorβ„’. The Code Name Generator creates names for your projects and even provides handy definitions for each of the words in the code name. The possibilities include animals, vegetables, minerals, colors, sizes, speeds, and many more! If, for example, you are creating an application which reads minds, the last thing you would want to do is refer to it as "Mind Reader" before it is ready to publish. With the Code Name Generator, you might call it "Subsonic ferret" or "Orange cloud" or one of hundreds of thousands of other suggestions. When you have found the perfect code name, you may email it to yourself or to your friends! You could also just memorize it, of course... So, don't be a grouchy Tomcat or a sagging redwood, get this app now!

Features
Read full description

Kant Generator produces text that vaguely resembles that of Immanuel Kant's Critique of Pure Reason, using a generative grammar originally developed by Mark Pilgrim for his version of this app. The text generated is grammatical, but usually nonsensical, and almost always amusing. It does make some dandy placeholder text if you're not a fan of Lorem Ipsum. It also generates Thank You notes, Excuses, Grumbles and Tweets that are similarly nonsensical, but just a tad more practical.
