How does this compare to Macmoji?
Jasper van der Meij
@bentossell This looks to have autocomplete, like Slack.
Ryan McLeod
@bentossell Macmoji guy here. This is a much better, more involved implementation than my barebones stopgap of a solution! Can't wait to see this evolve. πŸš€

@warpling @bentossell just tried it, works great! πŸš€

Slack Style Emoji should come come standard on Mac
Martijn Arts
@nivo0o0 to be fair, it does. Try Cmd + Ctrl + Space. 😲
Rodrigo Assael
@totempaaltj @nivo0o0 Very cool shortcut. Thanks! 😁
Praval Singh
@totempaaltj the one that comes with MacOS is not half as cool :)

Great app, just installed it. One small thing though, I use dark menu bar (OS X El Capitan) and the App's Icon seems to have the same color as my menu bar.
Nick Giovacchini
@baidoct yeah same here. I actually thought there was a problem running the app because I cannot see it at all lol
Matthew Palmer
@baidoct I've gotta fix this! Thanks for letting me know πŸ‘

@_matthewpalmer you might also want to show they shortcut in the menu and the preferences.. I forgot how to trigger the app... And make it customisable pls, so that can never happen again.

Hey, this is *really* awesome, and something I've been trying to do for a while (for instance the Alfred Emoji Pack at http://joelcalifa.com/blog/alfre... which I've disabled for now to use this :)) One thing that bugs me about this is that typing something like :) or http:// triggers itβ€”basically anything that starts with a colon. You could get around this by waiting for the colon + at least two alphanumeric characters before triggering it. Also, the modal seems to appear in the center of the screen rather than next to where I'm typing. Otherwise πŸ‘ πŸŽ‰
Patrick Wang
@notdetails Agree with this. It was fun initially until I got back to doing work and it popped up every time I typed the colon. Would it be possible to configure the trigger to something else like a double-colon ::?
Matthew Palmer
@notdetails πŸ’―, cheers for the suggestionβ€”definitely going to add some customisation around the trigger key. Appearing in the center of the screen happens when something's doesn't use the native accessibility API, the biggest example is Chrome. Might have to dig into Chrome a bit more though since it's so common
Owen Williams
Does this work in non-native textboxes? (I.e in the web browser)
Lee Fuhr
Oh man, I'll buy the dev a beer if they add EmojiOne-style fuzzy matching. (http://emojione.com/demo/) That'd make this better than Slack's implementation…
Matthew Palmer
@cozysd I can't say no to πŸ†“πŸΊ!
Lee
@_matthewpalmer I'd love to buy you one 🍺 now and two 🍻 if you add EmojiOne-style fuzzy matching. (http://emojione.com/demo/). Tell me how. πŸ’°πŸ’°
Lee
@_matthewpalmer Oh, oops. Just bought 1 license. I'll buy two more in exchange for the fuzzy matching. :D
Matthew Palmer
@leefur This is definitely something I want to do! There are a couple of things that are higher priority at this stage, but hopefully in the future πŸ‘
Jasper van der Meij
@_matthewpalmer The 'send feedback' doesn't work for me. Wanted to let you know that it would be great to disable it for regular smilies like :)
Matthew Palmer
@jvdmeij ah, how strange. Good idea! I'll add this in a future version πŸ‘
Omar Sinan
Is this normal?
Matthew Palmer
@djom4r yeah, it's a problem with apps that don't provide the native Accessibility API unfortunately 😞. Might try to investigate a custom solution for Chrome down the track if people want it though Thanks for the feedback! πŸ‘
Daniel Jacob Archer
This is everything I've ever wanted and more.
Jonathan Howard
Needs more :party-parrot: πŸ˜‰
Andrew Bass
Ive been wanting this!
Laszlo Levente MΓ‘ri
Doesn't work for me :(
Nick Giovacchini
One thing that could use fixing....when I use this on Messages for Mac, I cannot see the actual suggestion box, and have to move it up from out of view every single time I start typing
Andrew Flynn
Finally I can tweet from the desktop and not look like an old person! Seriously stoked.
Nadia Eghbal
oh thank god
Manuel Frigerio
surprised it doesn't have more up-votes 😳
Ale Patron
Finally!

Great little app. Not so great if you're using Vim.

This is such an easy app for using GIFs and emoji anywhere. I have it set to launch at start-up and it's hidden in my menubar unless I need to add a cool new GIF. Once I figured out the best process for saving GIFs locally to then enter them into the app, I was settled on using Rocket for my everyday GIF sharing and emoji entry tool.

Pros:

Easy to enter emoji and GIFs anywhere you can enter text without needing a separate "character viewer" or any pop-up.

Cons:

It took a few attempts to determine a smooth workflow for adding new GIFs and archiving them effectively
