Nice work, but inaccurate domain name.
tyingq
Not if you read it as ascii dot lie :)

Note the footer:

> © 2015 ASCII.li - Yes i realize most of the site is about Unicode °٢°

I had the domain before i got the idea, i know how wrong it actually is

Edit:// It also started with the Figlet and Cowsay generator. Until then it even made sense!

You get my upvote, I recently published animated versions of kaomoji in a 2 month sprint to learn how to create a basic Swift app, find someone to help me make the animations, and so forth (https://www.kaomotion.com). This could've certainly helped me with some of my research and creation of my own designs. I like how you deconstructed their sections. ( ಠ_ರೃ)

Omg that app looks awesome! I dont use iMessage or even iOS otherwise you would just have scored a download. Take my upvote as well.
iSimone
no problem, thanks for the kind words though. Feedback has been awesome, getting Apple to feature it, much less so ;)

2 months sprint? Is that a thing? o_O

I always expect something like 2 or 3 weeks when someone talks about sprints.

iSimone
Haha well I don't know how I'd say it differently, my background is outside programming, so it was quite a process. ⊙﹏⊙
dgellow
Well, congrats! :) You have a great product.
iSimone
thank you, greatly appreciated :)

Nice! I still prefer the old ways of ASCII emoticons :-), and while this is not quite the same, at least it's better than boards' randomly replacing emoticons with ugly Unicode faces.
herbst
Agreed nothing goes over a good old simple (actually ASCII) smiley :)

But something like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ serves really as good addition

Cute. But strangely, my Android refuses to render most of these.

"No Tofu," they said...

Indeed strange, the android ROM i tested it with worked. But thats a while ago, so i'll check. Thanks!

It's a samsung Galaxy S5 running Chrome, if it helps.

If you gaze long into an abyss, the abyss also gazes into you.

hey guys, I just opened a store that makes kaomoji pillows.

https://kaomojishoppu.com/

If any of you guys want a customized kaomoji pillow, just enter in contact over here or via the store, I woule be happy to help.

Also, in the future I will add other products, like t-shirts, sweatshits, etc.

any kaomoji generated via this generator _probably_ can be included in a pillow.

I also created a similar site:

http://emojistime.com

Soon, I'll be releasing an open source library that detects unsupported emojis in browsers.

I could pay for a native iOS version of this.

The Randomize button is simply delightful.

Indeed! It generated ᖗᗒᎲᗕᖘ, which I think is one of the best bears I've ever seen!
