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

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

Huh, should this occur with these settings:

Favourite so far.

Some gaps in the options for mouth and nose.

Luigi emoticon.

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!

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).

[–] Boomkop3@reddthat.com 3 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Yo that looks nice!

And it izz! I found couple of broken characters though. Could be text encoding or maybe my browser's support. They show up as whitespace in the dropdown. In the screenshot I set the mouth to one of those

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

A randomizer would be great!

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

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 33 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Thanks for the heads up.

found a bug ;)

Edit: where is the link?

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 21 points 1 week ago (2 children)

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

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!

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 ・ิ

Since the options are small for stuff like eyes ahving tabs side by side in like a grid might be cleaner than going down a list, bit unnecessarily wide

edit: oh no it looks weird on voyager

Maybe these arms could have the "basic" body parentheses removed like some of the others? Just thinking out loud idk if Theres a reason I missed for this
