About this project
A small, deliberately boring tool for generating test data that does not describe real people.
What it is
GetFlix is a synthetic data generator for developers, QA engineers and technical writers. It produces addresses, phone numbers, postal codes and identity profiles that are structurally correct for 57 countries, so that you can seed a database, fill a staging environment, or exercise a form without using anybody's real details.
It exists because the two usual alternatives are both bad. Real data in a test fixture is a privacy problem waiting to happen. Placeholder data like "Test User, 123 Test St" never exercises the edge cases that break in production — the leading zero, the accented character, the postal code with letters in it, the address with no state.
How it works
Everything runs in your browser. Each country has a documented set of format rules — the postal code mask, the phone numbering pattern, the national identity number shape, a list of real cities and street names — and records are assembled from those rules on demand. There is no backend, no database, and no API call, which is why it is instant and why nothing you generate can be logged.
The country pages are written by hand rather than templated. Where a page explains how a postal code decodes or why a national ID encodes a birth date, that is a description of the real system, researched per country. Countries without a written page still work in the generator; they simply do not have an article yet.
What it deliberately does not do
It does not generate payment card numbers. It does not attempt to produce addresses that resolve against a real postal database, and it does not pair postal codes with the cities they belong to. Those would make the output more convincing without making it more useful for testing, and considerably more useful for things this tool has no interest in supporting.
