## Description

Respectify helps you build healthy conversation on your site. Comments are analysed
before being published, and when users show common ways of writing unhelpful comments—
ones that don’t contribute well to a good conversation — Respectify shows feedback
and lets them edit.

You can guide healthy interaction, catch dogwhistles, keep comments on-topic, avoid
objectionable material, filter spam, and more — ideal for sites serving marginalised
communities, news sites covering sensitive topics, forums that have experienced 
brigading, political discussion where coded language is common, or any community
where specific patterns tend to derail conversation. All of this is configurable
in the Settings page.

Respectify’s feedback is intended to encourage and teach good communication. It’s
not meant for censorship but for healthy engagement and understanding. We hope as
your users write more comments, they will need Respectify’s feedback less and less.

Respectify is a commercial service (it’s meant to benefit the world, but it costs
us money to run) so please [sign up for an API key](https://respectify.ai).

### Human-readable code

The plugin’s code can be found here: [github.com/Respectify/respectify-wordpress](https://github.com/Respectify/respectify-wordpress)

It uses the [Respectify PHP SDK](https://github.com/Respectify/respectify-php), 
which is an async API using ReactPHP.

Full documentation on the API (the PHP library, plus the REST API it wraps) is available
here: [docs.respectify.ai](https://docs.respectify.ai/)
