🙂👭🏂🐳 Mojibar 🐆🦎©🈲🆖😯

NOOOOOOO, I HAVE JUST DISCOVERED THAT THE NAME MOJIBAR IS ALREADY TAKEN 😢

A quick access tab and search bar for emojis. Simply click the emoji you want to use and it will be copied to your clipboard. Want to try it out before you decide if you like it? Click here to try out Mojibar in your browser (note that the desktop version will offer more than the basic click-to-copy functionality).

Known Issues

Emojis are all monochrome! (I know it sucks! I didn't realize when I started but the UI framework I used makes all emojis monochrome. I thought this problem would be fixed by using a custom font but it was not ☹. I will do whatever it takes to remedy this, I just hope it doesn't end up forcing me to switch UI frameworks.)
The search bar has some weird issues where certain substrings will match on emojis where other more "complete" substrings of a word will not. Actively looking into the cause of this.
Pasting emojis into the search bar uses a different font and it's weird.

Coming Soon 🕦

Better documenatation
UI improvements
Search improvements
Select emoji with arrow keys (currently only works with tabbing or clicking)
Keyboard shortcuts and other speed of use improvements

Future 📡🚀🤖

Features I want but am not prioritizing right now.

Favorite emojis
Emoji categories
Custom fonts?
Basically a cooler copy of the emoji functionality of slack or IOS, etc. but it works on any platform and isn't tied to a single app
Run this program as a daemon of sorts that is bound to a keyboard shortcut so it can be accessed and closed extremely quickly
Emojipedia integration! For learning 📒
Some kind of API for integrating into other apps so each app doesn't have to make their own damn emoji toolbar???!
More supported emojis
