What is flatcase?
flatcase is a text format where all spaces are removed and all letters are lowercase. It creates a continuous, compact string without any separators, making it ideal for usernames, simple identifiers, and situations where spaces are not allowed.
Examples:
helloworld
textcasecom
johndoe123
myusernameWhen to Use flatcase

- Email Addresses: Local part before @ symbol
