I bought 300 emoji domain names from Kazakhstan and built an email service

• mailcheck

  8 7,950 0.0 JavaScript

  Reduce misspelled email addresses in your web apps.

  

It does work well. I used a customized version of https://github.com/mailcheck/mailcheck on an ecomm website and the amount of bounces due to typos went way down.

The kitty terminal emulator supports this out of the box (it also works on two other platforms):

Ctrl+Shift+U opens a Unicode input panel with fuzzy search by symbol code or name.

• AutoHotkey

  1,026 8,347 9.0 C++

  AutoHotkey - macro-creation and automation-oriented scripting utility for Windows.

  

If your Windows isn't updated enough, grab AutoHotkey[0], and try this: [1]. It's a little "emoji keyboard" I wrote a few years ago, to insert most important emojis into team conversations. Globally binds itself to F2, and it's ergonomic. You press F2, then number, then CTRL+V (that last step could be automated too).

The script is easy to extend with new emojis, and also supports selecting alternatives based on which program you had focus on when invoking the keyboard - you can see it using Skype-specific notation for Skype.

[0] - https://www.autohotkey.com/ - it's the keyboard rebinding / advanced automation platform for Windows. Literally the first thing I install on a new Windows machine (mostly for rebinding Caps Lock to Ctrl).

• rofi-emoji

  10 513 5.9 C

  Emoji selector plugin for Rofi

• parsemail

  59 2 2.9 Go

  Hanami fork of https://github.com/DusanKasan/parsemail

  

I like this idea so much. I woke up this morning and think how can I get an emoji email. I don't want to buy country level tld and ICANN ban emoji domain.

Then I realize I can have emoji in email itself. So I quickly add emoji support to my email forwarding service: https://hanami.run

So now anyone can email me at @hanami.run . Note that many mail client may say email is invalid but please send anyway. My mail server supports emoji.

So anyone own an domain here, if you like Emoji email, signed up for https://hanami.com and add your domain in there and configure alias.

Try email at @hanami.run @hanami.run :-).

Long live emoji.
