New Emoji integration? 🇫🇷

[z0ph]

Hey Victor (@gary149)

I hope you're doing well,

Based on the fact that the emoji.json is nearly five years old with a few updates to add flags and change to warning emoji, do you think it will be possible to add the new ones?

From this blogpost, we can see there are nearly 3600+ emoji now.

Following a quick count command: jq '.[] | .symbol' emoji.json, I can see there are 1349 on this JSON file.

I will be ok to contribute, but before starting something, I would like to know how did you generate this JSON in the first place? It was done manually or based on some automation?

It will be tricky to check the delta between the existing ones and the new ones and create proper keywords.

I've checked a few prompts on ChatGPT just for fun, but he was lost :)

Another cool thing would be to have a label on the mouse over each emoji to see the "Title". It will be helpful to trigger the right emoji on other apps.

Thanks!
Victor.

Sry for the late reply.

Yes, that would be great!

Open to contributions. I don't exactly remember how I did it but I think it was by stitching some lists together.

Yes, maybe we can start from a clean list (I'm not sure where to find one).

I would keep it minimalist but if it's only a native title attribute why not.

By the way, I found this very old unfinished PoC for a v2 using svelte and with the killer feature that you don't need the mouse to use it, it's also way faster: https://svelte.dev/repl/68b6dd31cf1b424daab050dc2028b056?version=3.59.1
