Feel free to ask any questions (improvement suggestions (or even better pull reqs) are welcome!) - we just pulled this out of our existing app Schedugram as a friend asked to use it so I figured why not?
Essentially it's a jQuery dependent keyboard in a style generally similar to iOS (category and layout) that attaches to a <textarea>.
- kinduff 11y agoGreat plugin. I created something similar but for Twitter (https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/emojitwitter/figianejgcfhaodnghfcbhdjdhkbofbe https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/emojitwitter/figia...), the only issue I found was the emoji-font or the way to show emojis inside a textarea tag (see extension sample images). OS X and iOS have a great compatibility to show this, but for Windows and Linux I found weird looking emojis. What could be a good solution for this?
- hughstephens 11y agoYeah that one is hard to fix. We use the minEmoji set which will replace the unicode chars with SVG or inline image – that's why we folded it into our code – that way it shows up on desktops without an extension in Chrome (in particular). I haven't built a chrome extension so I don't know how easy it would be to fold it into an extension, but that's where I would recommend you start. I'll admit that I haven't tested emojiboard in detail on Windows, but whenever a customer has a problem we can often tell them to install one of the browser-wide emoji typing solutions in Chrome and it will fix it, which I'm guessing is just something like minEmoji wrapped into a chrome extension!
