Add a custom emoji picker #84

Open lazerwalker opened 4 years ago

lazerwalker commented 4 years ago

Right now, we support typing in colon emoji (e.g. :joy:) into our text input box, and it will automatically replace that with the correct emoji (e.g. :joy:)

It would be nice if we displayed a custom emoji picker, a la Discord or Slack. It would be good if there was a button on-screen next to the text input people could press to trigger it, or if it would auto-show if someone starts typing a colon then some text. The design model here is "how Discord and Slack work"

https://github.com/missive/emoji-mart looks decent, and supports custom emoji. But pick what you want.

During the preview event, people were struggling with how to use macOS/Windows' built-in emoji pickers, and (understandably) didn't really discover our emoji shortname support. This would fix that.

But also, the event will be just fine if we don't have this.

If we get custom emoji (#66) this probably becomes a priority. Otherwise no.
