Emoji support

[jrgifford]

So, this is kind of a proposed enhancement:

Github and Campfire support Emoji - so :100: and :green_heart: read as :100: and :green_heart:, respectively. Lots of other options, full list is here.

Is this something we want to support in Kandan?

_{not a 1.0 thing, this is a potentially non-backwards compatible change.}

https://github.com/hassankhan/emojify.js looks like an easy way to implement basic support.

[jrgifford]

we could also pass it through a rails helper. - https://github.com/github/gemoji

I think this would be something that get's bucketed under wishlist milestone until we get 1.0/1.1 out the door.

I'd recommend keeping as much client-side as possible, generally - we've found it's considerably nicer for separating concerns, reasoning, and ultimately porting app cleanly to different platforms when necessary.

Ok. Moving it to the backend also defeats the purpose of using something like backbone.

@gabcen since you did emoticons do you think you can knock this out quickly?

If somebody can create a PR adding the emoticons to the list on https://github.com/kandanapp/kandan/blob/master/app/assets/javascripts/backbone/plugins/emoticons.js.coffee#L11. I can change the regex for it later. I am kind of busy with the admin stuff. Otherwise I can knock it out once I am done with admin
