# The Software Diversity Card webform generator 🏢
Welcome to the Software Diversity Card Generator—a form-based application designed to empower you to highlight and promote diversity in software projects. Our innovative tool helps you generate comprehensive diversity cards in both JSON and Markdown formats, offering a transparent overview of the varied teams involved in development and governance, the user groups engaged in testing, and the tailored software adaptations for different social groups. By providing a structured model, an extended JSON syntax, and a toolkit backed by real-world examples, our platform aims to foster inclusive practices that can be embraced by open-source communities, academic journals, and forward-thinking businesses alike.
## Public demo and other tools
We have released a public demo of the web-form generator at: www.dummy.org

## Dependencies
It is recommended to use a virtual environment, i.e., the following commands should be run before installing the dependencies:
```console
python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate
```
This project relies on [Streamlit 1.x](https://github.com/streamlit/streamlit). To install the dependencies run:
```console
pip install -r requirements.txt
```
## Running the service
After setting up the virtual environment and installing the dependencies, run the following command to start the server:
```console
streamlit run server.py
```
The streamlit listening port can be customized by setting the `--server.port` parameter:
```console
streamlit run server.py --server.port 2000
```
