There's a generator on the homepage, you can use it to create a link to any pronoun set you like.
There's a generator on the homepage and the editor,

You can also just list the five forms using slashes, eg. {/ze/zem/zir/zirs/zirself=ze/zem/zir/zirs/zirself}.
Keep in mind that <strong>all five forms</strong> are required in that case, otherwise the app can only guess what exactly you mean.

We're not planning to support fully customisable colours (like picking <em>just any</em> hex code)
because we'd rather hand-pick them to ensure they have enough contrast, distinguishability,
and a dark mode version for the cards to be readable and accessible.
pronunciation:
question: 'When I add pronunciation for my name, it does not sound right or I dont hear nothing at all'
answer:

The pronunciation uses the {https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Phonetic_Alphabet=International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA)},
which uses special characters to describe the pronunciation in a way
that it works for several languages.
This also means that in most cases the pronunciation written down in IPA
does not match the written spelling.
- >
Please check that your inputted IPA contains valid characters.
For example, there are no upper case letters in IPA.
- >
If you are certain that your IPA is theoretically correct,
it might be that our voice synthesizer does not correctly process the IPA.
Some symbols also appear to be ignored, e.g. some length symbols or stresses.
We still recommend to use the correct IPA even if the voice syntesizer produces a result that is
slightly off, that way your intent is still visible in the written IPA.
You can view {https://docs.aws.amazon.com/polly/latest/dg/supported-languages.html=a list of supported phonemes}
per language to check whether the voice syntesizer lacks support.
