pronouns.cc

A work-in-progress site to share your pronouns and preferred terms.

Stack

• API server is written in Go with the chi router
• Persistent data is stored in PostgreSQL
• Temporary data is stored in Redis
• The frontend is written in TypeScript with React, using Vite

Development

When working on the frontend, run the API and then use yarn dev for hot reloading.

Note that Vite does not proxy the preview pages (/@user and /@user/member), and as such, the Go server must be used directly to test it. However, as the preview pages are rendered by the Go server, and doesn't share code with the frontend (except for CSS), I consider this an acceptable compromise.

Building

Run make all. This will build the frontend, then embed that in the backend.

The resulting pronouns binary is a statically linked executable containing everything needed to run the website.
Note that it should still be run behind a reverse proxy for TLS.
