Revive with open source assets? #8

Open luser opened 4 years ago

I played with this tool a while back and loved it, I'm sad to see that you had to take it offline. There are several open-source emoji sets that would be usable if you wanted to revive it in a copyright-friendly way.

Twitter's Twemoji set is one of the most popular and I've used it for a few things before. It's the emoji font they use for Twitter.

Google also has their Noto Color Emoji set which is the emoji font for Android.

There's OpenMoji which I'm not very familiar with but is CC-BY-4.0 licensed.

I believe there are a few others but the question is more to whether you'd be interested in pursuing this at all than which particular emoji set you ought to use.

@luser do you know how can I add any of these emojis you mentioned above to the project?

I think it'd be a little bit of work. You'd have to take the vector versions of the emoji assets from one of them and split out the pieces corresponding to what this project wants, which is basically everything listed here: https://github.com/phlntn/emojibuilder/blob/master/src/assets.js

You'd have to write each piece into a png file as public/assets/<name>.png in this repo, so like public/assets/face_base.png for the base face shape.
