built this tool that generates custom emoticons. It’s pretty fun to use, but I feel like it could be better. Since you guys are brutally honest (and creative), I figured this is the best place to ask: What features should I add? Anything annoying or clunky about it? Any cool ideas to make it stand out? Let me know your thoughts. Rip it apart if you have to—just want to make it as good as possible. Site name: EmoticonHub

Since EmoticonHub is pretty new, I'd love to hear any suggestions on how to get the word out. Any marketing tips would be super helpful

Found a bug. Switching from the left pointed finger emotes to pointed both ways or the strong arm emote gives some unicode errors. This is on firefox

Since the options are small for stuff like eyes ahving tabs side by side in like a grid might be cleaner than going down a list, bit unnecessarily wide

Brilliant. I do think it would be nice is longer emoticons shrunk once they hit a certain length (though that just may be my phone).

Not a huge fan of how some of the arms have () in them. The brackets should be place holders for the base, no?

〘/ᓀᨎᓀ〙/̸͆̎/͆̿̇ ͆̅͆͞͞͞͞​ι̿̿̿ ̿̎͆ ̀̈

vs

(/〘ᓀᨎᓀ〙)/̸͆̎/͆̿̇ ͆̅͆͞͞͞͞​ι̿̿̿ ̿̎͆ ̀̈

Love the tool though!

Maybe these arms could have the "basic" body parentheses removed like some of the others? Just thinking out loud idk if Theres a reason I missed for this

Yo that looks nice!

And it izz! I found couple of broken characters though. Could be text encoding or maybe my browser's support. They show up as whitespace in the dropdown. In the screenshot I set the mouth to one of those

This is supa dope! What inspired this? Are there any other similar tools or is this first of its kind?
