When packaging it, make sure to not forget to credit Mu-An Chiou <me@muanchiou.com> as the list of emojis in wofi-emoji comes from https://github.com/muan/emojilib Maybe it even makes sense to package emojilib separately in the javascript/nodejs team and then let wofi-emoji use its data. Related, I was about to package https://github.com/biox/shmoji which does not only support wofi, rofi, dmenu etc but also other means to select emojis including fuzzy-search while at the same time remaining a small script. Unfortunately, my plea to tag a release have remained unanswered: https://github.com/biox/shmoji/issues/9 So why not instead of packaging the 2-line wofi-emoji or the 100-line shmoji package https://github.com/fdw/rofimoji which seems to support everything that wofi-emoji or shmoji can do and can do more, supports more selectors, can load the emoji data from other files and can insert the emoji and supports clipboards of different display managers. The project also has nearly 1000 stars on github and is thus orders of magnitude more popular than the other two projects. What do you think? Thanks! cheers, josch
