Pronouns via external database

[TheTaraStark]

(Edited to add a second database that could be utilized)

pronouns.alejo.io allows users to attach pronouns to their Twitch account which can then be accessed by other sites/extensions/programs (already utilized by FrankerFaceZ and some chat widgets in addition to their in-house browser extension). Their github here: https://github.com/Alejo47/chat_pronouns_browser_extension

PronounDB does the same - though it is not as widely adopted on Twitch or as well-integrated on Twitch as alejo, PronounDB has (imo) a better UI for casual users and a more clearly documented API. Their github here: https://github.com/cyyynthia/pronoundb.org

Since you're already using Twitch for login, it's one less datapoint for TheRun to store and one less thing users have to worry about adding/changing.

👋 Hi @TheTaraStark ! This is a great recommendation! As someone who personally uses the pronouns.alejo.io pronouns on twitch as well as pronounsdb for my personal website, I think this is a fantastic idea.

There are ongoing discussions about how to better improve the overall UX of TheRun including making the User pages more pronounced, but this kind of change could have global impacts depending on the direction we choose to integrate these into the UI. There are designs being worked on for these pages. I'll bring this up later today it to be considered in the overall plans! Thank you

Edit:

@TheTaraStark If you happen to have any suggestions on how to present the pronouns on the page we'd be super happy to work and collaborate on it! :)
