Feature: emote renderer #49

Open StealWonders opened 2 years ago

This issue shall be used to discuss how emojis/emotes should be communicated via the API to the front end, decide when and where emotes can be used and also server as a way to mark progress for the front end team.

I suggest using the following format to mark the usage of an emote for tags and in reviews :<emote name>: basically how Discord handles it

A full list of compatible emotes will have to be decided upon.

[ ] Emotes render for tags
[ ] Emotes render in reviews

What is the reason for not letting the the OS and/or Browser handle the rendering?

Visual inconsistency (icons look different on different os') and limitations with styling (cannot set specific width and heights in css, only an arbitrary font-size where the emoji size is not very predictable). Additionally this system allows us to use custom emotes easily if we wish to do this somewhere down the road 👍
