Parrots
Introduction
Simple web service that outputs what it has been given as input with a prefix added.
Installation
- Clone this repository
- Run
composer install
- Configure a webserver to host the contents of the
web
directory under a domain root - Visit the domain in a browser
- Fill out the input field and submit the form
- Be amazed by the result
Usage
To change the colours or the prefix text, there are two options.
The easiest way is simply to edit the default.json
file in the config
directory.
A more advanced option is to add a new config file with a name that matches the
domain Parrots is run on. For exmple, if Parrots is hosted at http://example.com
,
create the file config/example.com.json

Origin
For a long time, the Dutch website http://jebentzelfeen.nl/ used to offer a simple web service that would output what it has been given as input, with the prefix "Je bent zelf een" added. This result could be used as a online retort for many occasions.
When the service was no-longer available I started to miss it to a degree where it seemed sensible to recreate the service myself.
I would like to thank the creators of the original concept, Floor van Opijnen and Mark Wittkampf, for the inspiration and that awesome original service.

Origin
Early 16th century: probably from dialect French perrot, diminutive of the male given name Pierre.
