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

Just me you and 748 of your closest friends, awesome. Where can I find the source?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

that was because I had applied for Ezoic earlier, but I have now removed it and changed the DNS. Could you check if you're still seeing the cookie consent? Since I m in India, I dont see these cookie notices (they're country-specific), so I would really appreciate if you could let me know if they're gone now. Thanks for flagging this

Yes, I was on the website, where can I find the source code?

A randomizer would be great!

That was a lot of cookies to deny just for an emoticon. But fun tool!

[–] [email protected] 42 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Oof, you're right about those cookies, definitely something I need to streamline. Thanks for pushing through and giving it a shot anyway!

[–] [email protected] 33 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Thanks for the heads up.

OP - my feedback is fix this.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Same here. Was going to give it a whirl. Not if there are a hundred trackers having fun in my browser.

Is there a way to export them with Markdown to prevent missing arms?

[–] gravitas_deficiency 10 points 3 days ago

Ooh yeah, good feature request

Another one: some arms will make the base chars disappear when rendered (guessing it’s a diacritic thing)

[–] [email protected] 17 points 3 days ago

thanks for catching that bug, I will get on fixing it ASAP

You have something like 2000 friends all wanting to contact me for legitimate interest. Is it okay, if I tell them no?

copyright doesn't expire because the year is the previous year. the copyright should be the year of first publication, not simply the current year at all times. because if it just says the current year, what does it even denote?

[–] [email protected] 18 points 3 days ago

Thanks for letting me know ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

[–] [email protected] 34 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Agree with less cookies and trackers if possible. Google doesn't need to see my emoticons.

Also would prefer a JS free-version if possible, but I can see how that might not work.

Or maybe you're also collecting the IPs of everyone here by cross referencing usernames with the emoticons used in comments and copied from your site. Statistically, this would actually be pretty easy to use to doxx people's IPs/locations that way.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

A JS-free version would have to have the work offloaded to a server via an API request. I'm not sure if that'd be any better. At least with JS, you can theoretically read the code running on your machine

[–] [email protected] 30 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I don't think I've ever fully realised the depth of feeling I have for emoticons, let alone that there were others out there!

[–] [email protected] 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

I tried to recreate the emoticon you used, but this was the closest I could get with the available options.

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)

[–] [email protected] 7 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

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) _/¯

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

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

I like it.

May I suggest a “none” option for base/eyes/mouth too?

(・‸・)

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 days ago

For me the drop-down for Mouth/Nose has a lot of empty spaces, that show up when you select them.

As a emoji noob it could be nice with some text naming the specific selection.

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

There are few eyes with eyebrows, I can not create Lenny Face, literally unplayable! /s

Could be worth it to separate the eyebrows, because they clearly are available with some eyes, e.g. these are 2 combined characters סּ͡͡ and these also ・ิ

I also noticed a curious lack of flipped tables
