This is a Lemmy Community for perchance.org, a platform for sharing and creating random text generators.

Feel free to ask for help, share your generators, and start friendly discussions at your leisure :)

This community is mainly for discussions between those who are building generators. For discussions about using generators, especially the popular AI ones, the community-led Casual Perchance forum is likely a more appropriate venue.

  • See Perchance AI FAQ for FAQ about the AI tools.
  • You can ask for help with prompting at the 'sister' community Casual Perchance, which is for more casual discussions.
  • We will still be helping/answering questions about the plugins as long as it is related to building generators with them.

[Suggestion] Comment's Emoji selection and size. (self.perchance)

Dear Perchance Dev,

I believe the emoji popup layout should be like this:

And not like this:

The reason to do this is because the one I introduced allows the full view of the emoji and its name, plus it becomes easy to select the desired emoji and it allows scrolling, meaning if there are too many emojis, it will not break. This is similar to Discord's emoji selection.

Next, I think the displayed emoji should be enlarged, a little. If not possible, there should be a method to enlarge it, either through the Perchance panel, or something like this, :toro_silly:(1.5). The unit displayed, (1.5) could be used via multiplication, the 1 unit would be the default size, while the, 1.5 would be the multiplied size.

Regardless, there should be a customization option for this directly in the perchance panel to change the default emoji size.

I am entirely paused on making my emoji list lol. I started with making 3 and right from the start found they should each have different sizes. I personally think the sizing should not be when typing the emoji, but when I am looking at an emoji and incorporating it in to my multigenerator list of emojis, to, at that time, along with figure out all the tags I want it to have, to also size it correctly for all my generators that will be using it in their comment sections. so like:

catjam (tags:kitty,meow) (size:1.2) = https://user-uploads.perchance.org/file/a43d0b52d94c91dddb00cf157dd8c989.webp

and good idea on list type, which might also be good alphabetized

I think you should check my, AI Chat Modern I have already listed out 265+ emojis. And I plan to list out more.

[–] Alllo 2 points 7 months ago (1 children)

nice. true. i just started focusing on animated ones. https://perchance.org/allos-emoji-list noticing that maximum 36 in a tag tho. otherwise i would have all mine in :all but instead i am making all mine referenceable in :all :all2 etc nice organization in yours :)

[–] Cocell 2 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

Well, thanks. If I were to list all the emojis one by one it would take ages, so I uploaded all of them at once, then copied the whole uploaded list, thanks to, Perchance Dev, after copying them I used find and replace to format them, and then manually remove the size. I spent around 40 minutes, I noticed you can't use numbers in the emoji name, and you have to separate the emoji using a space.

Though I would heavily appreciate a formatting option while uploading for example, ${FileName} = ${FileUrl} that would be an extreme time saver, like saving hours and hours.

[–] Alllo 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

you can use numbers. i have music2 music3 music4 etc and have used them already

[–] Cocell 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

That seems weird, I tried to use, :2b: but nothing happened, I think it can be used in I tags.

[–] Alllo 1 points 7 months ago

cannot start with a number but may include a number after the first letter

[–] Cocell 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I forgot to mention one more thing 😭

Dev, emojis are sometimes hard to view, I would appreciate if we could view it in full with a click.

Pinging Polygonal.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I think we could display a popup when clicking emojis, as like in Discord, with an enlarged emoji with the shortcut text next to it.

[–] Cocell 2 points 7 months ago

We can do that, but that would be more tedious so I suggested the most easiest method, however, I am leaving it up to the dev.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (2 children)

Also another suggestion from me, @[email protected] , there should be a way to insert custom emojis through a designated button that opens up an icon grid of emojis and at the bottom it shows the shortcut (e.g., :catjam:, :kekw:) when hovering over an emoji, like you would in Discord and Lemmy when inserting emojis in a post/comment.

[–] Cocell 2 points 7 months ago

Yeah, that's a good idea too. 👍

[–] Cocell 2 points 7 months ago

I thought about it a bit, @[email protected]/@[email protected]. And I think the approach should be tweaked slightly, unlike in desktop, mobile has hover problems. So the one easy solution I thought of is to simply display the shortcut below each emoji, omitting the requirement to hover altogether.
