Hipsum vs Statically
Hipsum is a small, keyless JSON API that generates hipster-themed lorem ipsum text — pure hipster jargon or a mix of hipster-speak and classic Latin filler, with control over paragraph or sentence counts. It's a single-maintainer WordPress-hosted side project with no published rate limit and no support commitment, but the endpoint responds reliably and sends permissive CORS headers.
Statically is a free CDN that serves raw files straight from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket, and GitHub Gist repositories, plus any npm package, via simple path-based URLs like `cdn.statically.io/gh/:user/:repo@:tag/:file` — no key or account needed. It runs on bunny.net and Cloudflare edge infrastructure; the vendor disabled its former `/img/` image-processing endpoint after sustained abuse, so only the Git/npm file-serving routes remain live today.
