pronouny

Pronouny is an open source app for sharing identity information (name, pronouns, gendered nouns) with your friends (and maybe web services too). Think Gravatar, but for information which helps you talk about a person.

Why?

The application was created to serve two main use cases. First, when meeting people for the first time online, it would be helpful to be able to look them up by email and figure out how you should refer to them in future correspondance. This extends to web services that want to personalize user experience. The second purpose is to allow people who change there pronouns or other information frequently, to ensure that their friends are up to date.

Prerequisites

$ npm install -g bower

$ gem install sass

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/pronouns/main pronouns
$ cd pronouns
$ npm install

Running pronouny

After the install process is over, you'll be able to run pronouny:

$ npm start

pronouny should be running on port 3000 with the development environment configuration, so in your browser just go to http://localhost:3000

Tests

$ npm test

This will run both the server-side tests and the client-side tests.
