Our initial release will cover a Go package and accompanying CLI tool, with plans to support the following languages:

• .NET
• Javascript/Node.js
• Python

CLI usage

powerful_watt

Go usage

package main

import (
	"fmt"

	"gitlab.com/ionburst/namegen/namegen"
)

func main() {
	fmt.Println(namegen.GetRandomName())
}
