We've shipped a new feature that allows you to analyze and highlight gendered pronouns directly from any public webpage by simply providing a URL.
> impact
This week, we introduced a major enhancement to the Pronoun Highlighter: a URL import feature. Previously, analyzing text required users to manually copy content and paste it into a textarea. We have now added a dedicated input field that accepts a web page URL, allowing the application to fetch, parse, and analyze the content directly from the source.
The primary motivation for this update was to streamline the user workflow and remove a significant point of friction. Copying text from websites can be tedious, error-prone, and often misses dynamically loaded content. By allowing users to simply paste a link, we make the tool more accessible and efficient for analyzing longer-form content like articles, blog posts, and documentation without ever leaving the application.
This new functionality dramatically improves the tool's usability for writers, editors, and researchers who need to quickly assess pronoun usage across web content. It transforms the Pronoun Highlighter from a simple text utility into a more powerful web analysis tool. For contributors, the underlying fetching and parsing logic provides a foundation for future features, such as deeper site-wide analysis or browser extension integrations.
