built this tool that generates custom emoticons. It’s pretty fun to use, but I feel like it could be better. Since you guys are brutally honest (and creative), I figured this is the best place to ask: What features should I add? Anything annoying or clunky about it? Any cool ideas to make it stand out? Let me know your thoughts. Rip it apart if you have to—just want to make it as good as possible. Site name: EmoticonHub

    Brilliant. I do think it would be nice is longer emoticons shrunk once they hit a certain length (though that just may be my phone).

    Ruin it and make yourself miserable by implementing AI into this…

    Kidding aside, this is hilarious and useful at the same time! Thank you for doing something creative that does suck ass immediately

    Maybe add a “Lemmy mode” since Lenny uses symbols to mark italics, bold, etc, and causes a lot of emoticons to bug out

    Like ¯_ (ツ) _/¯ when it should be ¯\_ (ツ) _/¯

      Lemmy uses markdown to format posts. So yeah, a “markdown mode” would be awesome (just insert escape characters before each * and \ etc.)

      Or maybe I’m wrong ٩(。•́‿•̀。)۶ (huh, Voyager comes with an emoticon picker)

      Edit: it worked, I’m not wrong

    Not a huge fan of how some of the arms have () in them. The brackets should be place holders for the base, no?

    〘/ᓀᨎᓀ〙/̸͆̎/͆̿̇ ͆̅͆͞͞͞͞​ι̿̿̿ ̿̎͆ ̀̈

    vs

    (/〘ᓀᨎᓀ〙)/̸͆̎/͆̿̇ ͆̅͆͞͞͞͞​ι̿̿̿ ̿̎͆ ̀̈

    Love the tool though!

    nice work!

    i found a bug though

    selecting the sixth option in the base menu puts html in the output:

    (this is in Tor Browser, which is based on the “ESR” release of Firefox)

    A randomizer would be great!
