Interesting question :) We might have to look into that. I'll have to look into it though. I can add it to the bugtracker as a feature, so that I do not forget it.
-
@stigatle Get @knuthollund to upgrade #quitter.no to latest nightly and you can test it directly. I'm downloading and compiling yaics now myself.
-
@mmn nightly GNUsocial? sceptic... :) /cc @stigatle
-
@knuthollund Hush or I'll push it to master in order to fool you! .D
-
@mmn :-) I have upgraded q.kollektivet0x242.no to nightly. @stigatle can play with this instances if he need. How is emoji suppose to work? (Can't see any of them).
-
@knuthollund copypaste some cats or something from http://getemoji.com .)
Remember they are just unicode characters and will be represented differently depending on the font.
-
@mmn I've done that on the test site. (See attached picture). Should be implemented as "interpreters"(?) when somebody write :smile: :cat: etc. or just :) - also they are incredble small. I need a magnifier to see them .... :) - https://quitter.no/attachment/10089
-
@knuthollund I think such auto interpretation is evil. It'd have ro be per-user and preferrably only on the receiving end via javascript.
-
@mmn mehh :)
-
@knuthollund You've got the freedom to.make a plugin that does this. I'd hate you for it, but you're allowed to ;)
-
@knuthollund @mmn have you guys considered to use an icon font? For rendering in the Web UI only of course. Instead of relying on "unicode characters" that may be defined but for which the glyphs are not necessarily present in any (most) unicode fonts.
-
@mk @knuthollund icon fonts are evil, non-standardized and everything else bad in the universe. There's no reason anything should not support a 15+ year old character encoding standard.
If we send a font to the client we might as well just send one with all desired characters instead of using some arbitrary font that has nothing to do with the _actual_ characters written.
-
@mmn @mk @knuthollund And just think how horrible that would be in a federated environment with third party clients and... yeah. just no .)
-
@mmn here's no reason a font designer concentrating on glyphs for both Western and Eastern European languages should spend time to include cat pictures in his design. Unicode is a standard, but it does not require (thank heaven) that every single defined code point has a glyph defined. Icon fonts are an elegant solution to that,require very little bandwidth and are completely standards-based.
-
@mmn I was assuming you'd implement it correctly, of course. There would be no horribleness at all.
-
@mmn nooo don't hate me. :) - actually trying to create my first plugin now, but that is not about emojis. It's more like getting a list of user stats (nr.of notices, followers , created time etc). Peace...
-
@question I wonder if there are mix points with the "Social Analytics" plugin by @chimo ? and e.g. both could be mixed into 1? http://www.skilledtests.com/wiki/GNU_social_plugins
-
@erkan might be... currently I just testing to learn some plugin devel. /cc @question @chimo
-
You have enthusiasm for the things you #love. I haven't heard anything like that before. @how do you usually introduce yourself?
-
thank you! That's a great way to test new stuff.
