Does this still work?

I tried running it on Heroku, but it crashes. Here is the log

I confirm it does not work on the master branch either on Heroku or Local to my machine due to this js-emoji error. I cannot tell if this error has been handled via https://github.com/mitchcapper 's Pull Request nor can I seem to get his branch to work for other reasons....

I ran into the same issue. I noticed that this contains the dependency js-emoji (https://www.npmjs.com/package/js-emoji) rather than emoji-js (https://www.npmjs.com/package/emoji-js).

If I install the dependencies manually and substitute emoji-js in place of js-emoji it seems to run locally and connect to Facebook. Still haven't been able to successfully connect to a chat though.

Hi guys,

I've updated master and I can run the bot both locally and remotely on heroku.

Let me know if you have any more trouble 👍
