Change the tagline to something more inclusive #46

I'm writing a book about development with Svelte. I like the work you've done, so I'd like to recommend yrv as the router for people who want to use one based on the HTML5 history API.

However, the tagline for the project ("Your routing bro!") makes me feel uncomfortable and stops me short of doing that. This is present on GitHub at the top of the page, as well as in multiple parts in the code: https://github.com/pateketrueke/yrv/search?q=bro&unscoped_q=bro

Would you please consider changing the tagline to something more inclusive? The "bro" term is connected to a toxic culture in tech (you might have heard the term "brogrammers") that is hurting women and non-binary individuals.

Your code is really good, there's no reason why "non-bros" can't use it 😉

Oh, sounds fair to me sorry for that, but I'm short of options... what can I use instead? Thank you.

Thanks for considering this!

Uhm what do you think about “Your router friend”?

pateketrueke commented 4 years ago

I'm very sorry on this, since I'm not english-native speaking I never thought about the implications of that word.

Sincerely I apologize for that and I'll be more aware about such words in my future work.

It's all good, thanks for being open to making this change and acting quickly! 😄
