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

    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 ・ิ

      I also noticed a curious lack of flipped tables

    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!

    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.

      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

        copyright doesn’t expire because the year is the previous year. the copyright should be the year of first publication, not simply the current year at all times. because if it just says the current year, what does it even denote?

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

    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)

    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.

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