ItsThisForThat vs What The Commit

ItsThisForThat is a single-endpoint novelty generator that mashes two random tech buzzwords into a startup-style "X for Y" pitch (e.g. "Google Analytics for Pandas"), served from a PHP script that's been running unchanged since at least 2018. The same api.php endpoint supports three output modes via query string — ?json for JSON, ?call=name for a JSONP callback, and ?text for a plain sentence — with no key, signup, or documented rate limit. There's no CORS header on any response, so browser code needs a same-origin proxy even though the endpoint itself is fully public.

What The Commit serves an endless stream of joke commit messages drawn from a fixed pool, built to be piped into git commit -m when you can't think of anything better. The plain-text /index.txt endpoint returns one message per request for shell scripting and git aliases, and a live /index.json endpoint wraps the same message with a stable hash and permalink. It's free, keyless, and carries no rate limit or pricing page.
