Module is not node-ready

Hi @dasilvacontin I know, the module is not compatible with Node.js right now. Actually I didn't thought about that use case... If I get your point you would like to use gh-emoji in your Node app in order to return html with the github emojis as img tags?

Just wondering about how helpful might be to support Node, but we can do it for sure!

@zzarcon For now I was just doing a proof of concept for my website redesign in which I fetch all my public repos, and parse the emoji in the repos' description. I was currently logging the result to the terminal. (or trying to)

It can be useful for trying out the library, creating CLI and pre-rendered/static content (in which parsing the emojis in the browser will be unnecessary overhead).

Chiming in to let you know this module cannot be server-rendered. In building an isomorphic react app, I cannot hand off the rendering from the server to the client because window fails in node. Can you use a conditional to ensure window exists?

I wanted to take care of implementing this and PR it, but out of the box, tests fail on my system.

Here's my system information and what steps I followed.

1. npm install
2. npm test

> gh-emoji@0.2.5 test /private/tmp/gh-emoji
> npm run test:browser

> gh-emoji@0.2.5 test:browser /private/tmp/gh-emoji
> browserify -t babelify ./test | tape-run | tap-spec
