you might consider being more generous with the pronoun search to catch the following variations:

  • "pro-nouns" as a synonym for "pronoun"
  • the string "they/them" even without the word pronoun, plus "them/they"

OTOH, if you are too generous with the string "pronoun", you might pick up:

  • "pronounced 'ree-del' " and similar guidance about name pronunciation

not sure what you would do with:

  • "she or they for pronouns"; "she/her/they"; "they/she"; "he/they"

that's all the obvious stuff from my followers, followings

nice app, nice start

Thanks for the feedback! Sorry I didn't notice until now. The code doesn't look for the string "pronoun" in the Twitter profile at all, it only looks for "he", "she", "they" as words:

So far this seems like the best heuristic I can find for detecting when people declare their pronouns in Twitter profiles.
