velocity-pivot

A modern alternative to Lorem Ipsum, inspired by The Economist's "Velocity Pivot" (May 2026). Generates meaningless corporate placeholder text drawn from a corpus of buzzwords, jargon, and strategic non-sequiturs.

"For most forms of corporate communication, it is not necessary to change the text at all before you publish." — The Economist

Installation

npm install velocity-pivot

To use the CLI globally:

npm install -g velocity-pivot

CLI

velocity-pivot <count> <paragraphs|words|bytes>

Examples

# 2 paragraphs of placeholder text
velocity-pivot 2 paragraphs

# 20 words
velocity-pivot 20 words

# ~500 bytes of text
velocity-pivot 500 bytes

All output begins with "Velocity pivot hunger to win".

const { velocityPivot } = require('velocity-pivot');

// Paragraphs

velocityPivot(count, type)
