Since when in the UX world you tell the users to install an extension on their browsers to use emojis :D
As for the native app read in the comment above plz.
since it went open source recently, don't you think there would be better ways to do so? :)
Ah... I saw that comin', and let's be a bit transparent about it:
Dev is the dream of the three folks: Ben, Jess, and Peter. They make the profits out of their dream (all happy for them), and we are the users of their platform. We all have dreams, like I do make my own coding academy: coretabs.net (totally open-source: github.com/coretabs-academy/websit...), and a handful of other projects: github.com/coretabs
If I would write something to improve their dream (for-free), I would do it for a tool/component that I might get benefit from like: Dapper ORM used in Stackoverflow or their fast Redis client, but not for stackoverflow website itself ;)
I'm not saying telling users to install a browser extension is a good thing, just that the "emojis on websites" problem is a wider problem than a per-website issue. Also I believe the dev.to team are OSX users, they might be a little biased towards emojis with their super futuristic OS that supports emojis 😋 (that IS a joke, do not hit me 😇)
As for the last part, I was not asking you to contribute, I was just saying that the GitHub issues might be a better place to submit some of your ideas (like the simpler UI, and, for the record, I do agree with this one, at least partly) than a post here... because it will sink eventually and might never get the visibility an issue would have had.

Ah... I get it, thanks for elaborating!
Well, Github issues are good but IMO for reporting, not for discussions (at least for dev.to cuz here feels a bit better for discussing).
And yeah I agree on your point, I was just a bit lazy to take that point separately into github :D
