Ben,
This web app is actually very cool. I subscribed immediately. It seems you have many of the formats covered. I love all the download options.
As far as feature requests, I guess I have two:
1) Be able to add a field that is additive from another field. For example, it you were doing pay stubs, and you wanted a random pay period. The beginning random date is no problem, but if the pay period is two weeks, then ending date needs to be two weeks from that first random date to make sense. Seems kind of esoteric but there are a lot of uses for this type of feature.
2) Having the ability to insert a random graphic, such as a person’s face would be handy. There are sites like unsplash.com that provide the public domain people for free.
Anyway, this app has been very useful to me. Thanks for putting the time in.

One need I recently had was to have random names generated then repeated across the result set. So create five random names then randomly repeat the usage of them across 100 rows of data.
