emojime is a simple REST API for emoji search.
The goal of the project is to provide a better search experience for emojis. Current implementations fail to properly group/organize emoji data in a consistent manner and often times return less than optimal results.
Emojis are currently indexed using the following fields
given the following emoji: 🎱
- Category -
Activities - SubCategory -
sport - Unicode character -
U+1F3B1 - Name -
pool 8 ball - Tags -
8, 8 ball, ball, billiard, eight, game - Shortcode -
:8Ball:
Currently using bleve for search and go-memdb for in memory storage. These technologies enable the emojime service to provide fast response times and consistent results.
- develop our own dataset using the official unicode emoji list found here
- enable hot reload of source data
