Emoji is such a good way to express emotion. However, inserting emoji is still such a pain in most websites. Following is a list of famous websites and the pain one needs to go through for inserting a lousy emoji:
- Google Slides (Google docs as well): Go to Insert>Special Characters. Search for emoji (its highly unlikely to find the emoji you want)
- LinkedIn: No native way to insert emoji (you need to copy paste an emoji from somewhere to insert emojis)
- LMK (email: sa3762@columbia.edu) if you are interested in this idea.
- I am pretty busy right now but can provide some guidance on development (have some experience with chrome extensions)
- If you make serious progress, you can own the idea and the repository. I can be the second collaborator and will be just happy to see the idea in action.
