# [pronoun.is](http://pronoun.is) is a www site for showing people how to use pronouns
|
|
|
|
## For users
|
|
|
|
You can use any pronouns you like simply by filling them into the
|
|
url path. For example, http://pronoun.is/ze/zir/zir/zirs/zirself
|
|
|
|
That's pretty unwieldy! Fortunately you can also give it only the
|
|
first pronoun or two: http://pronoun.is/she/her or http://pronoun.is/they
|
|
|
|
Automatically filling in the rest from only one or two forms only
|
|
works for pronouns in the [database](resources/pronouns.tab). If the
|
|
pronouns you or a friend uses aren't supported, please let us know and
|
|
we'll add them. Alternatively you could add them yourself and submit a
|
|
pull request (see the next section for details)
|
|
|
|
## For developers
|
|
|
|
### The database
|
|
|
|
The pronouns "database" is a tab-delimited file with fields and
|
|
example values as follows:
|
|
|
|
subject|object|possessive-determiner|possessive-pronoun|reflexive
|
|
-------|------|---------------------|------------------|---------
|
|
they | them | their | theirs | themself
|
|
|
|
If you edit it with a text editor, make sure your editor inputs real
|
|
tab characters in that file (a thing your editor might normally be
|
|
configured not to do!) In Emacs, you can input real tabs by doing
|
|
Ctrl+q <tab>
|
|
|
|
### Running the app in a dev environment
|
|
|
|
You can launch the app on your own computer by running the following
|
|
commands:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ lein uberjar
|
|
$ java -cp target/pronouns-standalone.jar clojure.main -m pronouns.web
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then browse to localhost:5000
|
|
|
|
You can also just run quickstart.sh which will do all of these things for you. Do it like this
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ ./quickstart.sh
|
|
```
