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

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

[–] AdityaGavit@lemmy.world 37 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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

[–] ShareMySims@lemmy.dbzer0.com 31 points 1 day ago (3 children)

Thanks for the heads up.

Im bookmarking this site.

found a bug ;)

Edit: where is the link?

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

[–] qaz@lemmy.world 19 points 1 day ago (2 children)

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

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

[–] chautalees@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

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) _/¯

[–] DaforLynx@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day 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

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

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.

[–] NotSteve_@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day 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

[–] cypherpunks@lemmy.ml 12 points 1 day ago

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)

[–] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I like it.

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

(・‸・)

[–] 2ugly2live@lemmy.world 2 points 22 hours ago

。゚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).

[–] dmegatool@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Nice (・人・)

[–] clemmyzemmy@sopuli.xyz 30 points 1 day 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!

[–] Routhinator@startrek.website 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

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

Huh, should this occur with these settings:

Favourite so far.

Some gaps in the options for mouth and nose.

Please add a link.

[–] BeigeAgenda@lemmy.ca 9 points 1 day 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.
