:emoji: — the emoji autocomplete everywhere on the internet
The emoji autocomplete anywhere on the internet.
Just type :smile: or :shrug: and the text will magically convert into an emoji or take advantage of the suggestions box

I love emojis and I love the way Slack and Discord make them available on messages so, why can't we have that anywhere on the internet?
Since it would be too hard to convince every single website to add emoji hotkeys I've built the next good thing, a chrome extension that enables that virtually on any text field.
This project was made for fun and since today is the world emoji day, I've decided to released to the masses.
There’s been an issue with the google, apparently the code in the extension can’t be obfuscated. So, the extension will be down for a few days until google approves the new version.
The wait is over, :emoji: for firefox is here https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US...
@hexandcube and @wajahatkarim let me know if it works well for you.
Great idea. Working good. Except for some of the shortcuts. Per example wanted the thumb up emoji, but it doesnt take neither : like nor : thumb.
@joseph_ayoub Yes there are some emojis that need a remapping to an easier short name. Thanks for the feedback.
@joseph_ayoub @gonelf I love this! 🍺This is already one of my new favorite extensions.
I would be willing to bet that the thumbs up/down emojis are some of the most commonly used emojis there are. Just remapping those two in an update would make this 10x more useful
@joseph_ayoub @julianbaker That’s so cool 😎
Yes you are totally right and I’ll take that feedback into consideration in a next update.
@new_user_25abe5bd55 Well it was quite a challenge technically to achieve due to the amount of possibilities that a text field can have.
Hell, I needed this kind of product for the whole my life! 🔥 (this fire emoji was already immediately typed with the help of your extension :)
If you can monetize it somehow - that would be a nice business opportunity ;)
p.s. kudos for posting it on the World Emoji Day 😃
Great for english speaking people so for the others is it possible to localize "emoji" in others languages ? 🤔
@cyke That's something I've never thought about. I'm not native english speaker but I've never used or seen emojis in other languages, do tou have any example of that so that I can have an idea? Thanks.
The Spanish translation of LOL is jajaja so how to insert it without a word translation ?

@cyke I’m Portuguese and truly understand what you are saying and it’s a good question.
Great idea and something that I didn't know I needed but will make my life easier!
