Dear Daniel and Benedikt,

Thank you for your wonderful project. I thought you may appreciate seeing how your wonderful work is being used. I was able to use your emoji in a recent publication: https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0227877

Thanks again and best regards
Anthony

Ok, this is U-G-L-Y: UGLY but I'm still working out the gameplay, so it is what it is (It's not even Alpha yet).

But the mesh materials are coming through and it looks like the Openmoji stuff is going to work along side the others... :D

(The attached zip file contains an mp4 video file that shows the cycling through the materials.)

Hi, I used OpenMoji for my final project in MA degree, it was a super visual tool to communicate different activities or situations about my project. I had to adapt some openmoji, but it worked awesomely.

The next month I will have the dissertation, I hope the OpenMoji give me luck jajaja 🚀

[b-g]

@lizbravob Great + that looks nice! Good luck with MA!!

I am using it in my product https://storycreatorapp.com

@bluematter let us know if you have any difficulties! would be good to iron out problems sooner rather than later :)

@bluematter let us know if you have any difficulties! would be good to iron out problems sooner rather than later :)

This is the only issue I have been facing. I have to yarn upgrade --ignore-engines to properly upgrade deps. Other than that fantastic work.

[carlinmack]

have fun playing with this https://carlinmack.com/openmoji.html :)

Here is a quick video of the Open Emoji used on the ball in the store (and I am still working on the star costs and game balancing).

Wow! So many nice things! Thanks for sharing!

@bluematter that is already fixed (but not yet released) ... it might take some time until we have time for a new release.

Hi, first time commenting on this repo so first off hats off to everyone involved in this project!
Started work on a vanilla JS emoji picker add-on that works exclusively with OpenMoji in my free time :) Not the most performant emoji picker, but I'm sure I can try and iron it out further.
Repo | Example page
Let me know thoughts on this!

[carlinmack]

wow this is really good! great work 😮

for improved performance you could use spritesheets (like these https://github.com/axelpale/openmoji-sprites) cc @axelpale

[k-j0]

Ah, that's a great suggestion, will implement that! Initially I tried using the font but I guess some emojis have display issues with it in certain browsers, but if that gets fixed I'd assume it would be the best solution

[b-g]

@k-j0 Very nice! Once the Picker is final ... we could finally have an answer to https://github.com/hfg-gmuend/openmoji/blob/master/FAQ.md#-is-there-an-emoji-popup-or-emoji-picker-available-for-openmoji !

Very nice animation based on OpenMoji!

Hi there. I am using OpenEmoji on my open source minesweeper clone, LibreMines. I am very thankful for the authors.

More screenshots here.

[theotheroracle]

i'm planning to use it in my flutter matrix client, midnight

[raulriera]

Love this initiative, I was using another provider for "emoji stickers" an iOS application for composing emojis by overlaying them together. In this upcoming PR it will be 100% supported by Openmoji. Thanks for this amazing set!

I am happy to share an impression of some Openmojis used in my recently published (german-language) beginner's book about PHP and MySQL. The example page is from a chapter that explains inheritance in object-oriented programming.

Thank you so much for the beautiful icons!

[b-g]

@bicpi Many thanks for sharing! Yay! Congrats on your new book!

[francoisschwarzentruber]

Hello, OpenMoji is used in the online blackboard Tableaunoir (https://tableaunoir.github.io). Some icons of buttons come from OpenMoji. And it is also possible to use directly images from OpenMoji as magnets (images that you can move on the board).

[bastigruenwald]

OpenMoji is used in the German serious game "Augen Auf!" that discusses extremism in the internet and is now rolled out in German schools. Here's a trailer - you can see the openmojis in the game chat to the right:

Thank you so much for letting us use this amazing set for our project! Much love! <3

Neat music video based on OpenMojis!

Last year during lockdown I created a music video for a song called Desk Jockey (a roast of late aughts Wall st culture) made (almost) entirely from OpenEmojis!

Mobile Steam Unit – Desk Jockey + Steakhouse (Emoji Video)

It got some nice coverage in Matt Levine's newsletter for bloomberg dot com.

At any rate, I have been meaning to share it with the OpenEmoji community—please forgive the delay! And thank you for your work in creating such beautiful and accessible iconography. I will forever be a huge fan of the OpenEmoji library!

Hope you enjoy!

FYI, OpenMoji's data (not the images) is being used by Emote (since tom-james-watson/Emote#47, released in v3.0).

It would be nice to incorporate the names/aliases that the project used before that (listed in the since deleted static/emojis.json file) back into OpenMoji, as part of the openmoji_tags. Would a bulk import be acceptable?

I’m working on including the OpenMoji fonts in Fedora. This will consist of your OpenMoji Black TTF, plus a CBDT OpenMoji Color TTF built from PNGs using Google Noto's tooling.

That sounds great. My favorite Nixos supports them kinda natively in the openmoji-black and openmoji-color nix package.

But, as mentioned in the projects fonts/README.md, no FOSS besides Firefox respects the SVG-in-OTF extension.

@mavit Do you think your Fedora approach can provide OpenMoji support for other FOSS and could be adapted to nix?

[mavit]

Do you think your Fedora approach can provide OpenMoji support for other FOSS and could be adapted to nix?

I don't see why not. You can find the RPM spec at https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/hfg-gmuend-openmoji-fonts/blob/rawhide/f/hfg-gmuend-openmoji-fonts.spec.

However, these days I'd suggest looking at COLRv0 TTFs built with nanoemoji instead. See #422.

[waldyrious]

Just came across https://intermodal.pt which uses OpenMoji (CC @claudioap)

[claudioap]

@waldyrious Nice catch. It is indeed using OpenMoji all over the place. The derivatives have been annotated like this: https://gitlab.com/intermodalpt/web-client/-/blob/master/static/gestures/LICENSE
Is that fine?

I'll give the OpenMoji project a better attribution (in the "about" & all). This is an early WIP so clear attribution is largely not done, sorry about that.

[waldyrious]

The derivatives have been annotated like this:

I think it would be worth noting which OpenMoji files they are derived from.

Also, in the case of zoom.svg, in particular (which is derived from 1F90F.svg), it seems to me that it may be a more broadly useful icon that perhaps could be contributed upstream, in the extras-openmoji category (i.e. icons that don't have a Unicode codepoint). WDYT, @b-g?

[claudioap]

I think it would be worth noting which OpenMoji files they are derived from.

True. This got a bit messy because we're not many but once we do project household we can point everyone in the right direction clearly.

a more broadly useful icon that perhaps could be contributed upstream

I don't have any problem with that or licensing any of our icons under the same license OpenMoji has. Besides CC BY-SA, we're doing CC NonCommercial as well in our icons, but I think we're going to waive that restriction, meaning the license will end up being the same as OpenMoji. I don't know if we have the artistic skills to make generic versions upstreamable but it would be interesting if that could help this project.

Thanks for this great project! I'm using open emojis in https://travelermap.net

Hi, I'm using OpenMoji in the cover of my book "Phing Cookbook" (WIP).

i make fun-hobby emoji game, https://emoji-quest.com (https://github.com/guleswine/emoji-quest) the graphics are based entirely on your wonderful package! (I really had to add some specific emoji myself, such as a fence)

In order to teach decision trees used in machine learning, we are happy to use (variations of the) mushroom of OpenMoji:
