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

    I like it.

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

    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!

    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

    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)

    A randomizer would be great!

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

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

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

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

    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

    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.
