Tonetag.is

Tonetag.is is a website to look up the definitions of tone indicators, also known as tone tags.

Tone indicators are used to convey tone in text-based communication. They are often used by neurodivergent people, such as people with autism or ADHD, to make their tone clear.
An example of a tone indicator is /s, which means that the previous sentence was meant as sarcastic.

This website is built with Quarkus, a Java framework. It is built with Kotlin. It is deployed with Terraform, Ansible and ArgoCD. You can see the deployments at charts and deployment.

Contributing

Tone indicators are a relatively new concept, and my list may not be complete. Tone indicators are stored in a JSON file, which can be found in src/main/resources/META-INF/data/tags.

If you want to add a tone indicator, please make a pull request! Please make sure that the tone indicator is not already in the list and that is actually used by people.

Running the application in dev mode

You can run the application in dev mode that enables live coding using:

./gradlew quarkusDev

Packaging and running the application

The application can be packaged using:

./gradlew build

It produces the quarkus-run.jar file in the build/quarkus-app/ directory. Be aware that it’s not an über-jar as the dependencies are copied into the build/quarkus-app/lib/ directory.

Creating a Docker image

You can create a Docker image using:

quarkus build -Dquarkus.container-image.build=true

This will create a container image with the name ghcr.io/tonetag/tonetag and tag of the version of the application.

A container of the current version is also published at the GitHub Container Registry.

Deployment

Deployment is done in the tonetag/deployment repository. Please check there for more information!
