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?

[–] AdityaGavit@lemmy.world 7 points 5 days 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?

Found a bug

[–] weeeeum@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 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) _/¯

[–] DaforLynx@lemmy.zip 5 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 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

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

I like it.

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

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

[–] dmegatool@lemmy.ca 5 points 6 days ago

Nice (・人・)

Found a bug. Switching from the left pointed finger emotes to pointed both ways or the strong arm emote gives some unicode errors. This is on firefox

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

(۶ಠ‿ಠ)۶

I love it!

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Huh, should this occur with these settings:

<(•◡•)>“><( )> <option value=

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Some other strange behaviour with this one: 👈?Ỡ◡Ỡ?️

Favourite so far.

[–] gwilikers@lemmy.ml 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Some gaps in the options for mouth and nose.

New favourite (Composer). Okay, I'll stop now.

Luigi emoticon.

[–] Bazimon@lemm.ee 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

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!

。゚ᕕ〔ಠ⌵ಠ〕ᕗ。゚꧂

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).

[–] tisktisk@piefed.social 1 points 6 days ago

This is supa dope! What inspired this? Are there any other similar tools or is this first of its kind?

[–] mediocreme_ow@lemm.ee 72 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

A randomizer would be great!

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

[–] AdityaGavit@lemmy.world 42 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

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

I just wish it integrated with my Android keyboard

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

that is the #1 thing I miss about Gboard (I now use HeliBoard with the disembodied Google gesture typing library loaded into it)

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Ah yes I'm gesture typing as we speak

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

haha wiggly finger go brrrrrrrr

[–] IncogCyberspaceUser@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

One wiggly finger or two? I haven't been able to get dual finger swiping to work on my heliboard.

[–] janus2@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

there's dual finger swiping!?

Yeah, haha Actually, I forgot I did get it to work, I just can't figure out how to use it. Lol
And can't find a guide either.
