Hi HN!

I built FakeMaker.app, a simple tool to generate fake identities with a single click. Each one includes an AI-generated face, name, bio, and a bit of personality.

I originally made this to help with prototyping apps and generating test data, but I've found it surprisingly fun for character ideation and writing prompts too.

No login required, no limits. It’s just a playground for creating fictional people.

Would love feedback, ideas, or ways you might use this. Thinking about adding: - Export to JSON / CSV - Backstory expansion / memory simulation - Identity-based social network simulator

The app generates fake messages not fake identities. Which is a little weird.
