Hi ProductHunters! This was be far our biggest undertaking to date. There was no emoji left untouched for this upgrade. Here's the why:
* It was time to monetize (or die). New licensing structure. 💸
* Improve cross compatibility among top emoji sets. ✨
* Added new genders/occupations to keep Unicode current. 🎨
* I'm just never satisfied and get bored. 🙈
We had to say goodbye to the open and free Creative Commons license (from version 2). Free is fun af, but didn't pay the bills. Freemium was the next best option, and we'll continue to support good cause partnerships like Firefox.
I hope you love the new designs. As you know, we'll never stop improving them! Look for our next update (version 3.1) coming in June, which will include 69 unique designs (plus genders/skin tones) for Unicode 10. I freaking love what we're doing, this truly is the most rewarding business to be part of. Much love to all those who have supported EmojiOne throughout the years. 💖

@rick_moby Sounds good man. Can't "noodle-strap" it forever.
