About color parrot

Why?

I am maintaining an open-source list of names that is used by many other apps and websites.

To be able to measure what names are better than others, or that are just plain bad I collect the likes and the reactions to each color. So by using the bot you are actively contributing to an open-source project.

Who pays for all that?

I am so glad you asked. Hopefully you!
