The API is probably not providing everything Blorp needs to make this really sing. I'll add that to the list now that Blorp has started making a move towards reaction support.

Anything specific that you are going to add regarding emoji reactions? I assumed emojis were more of a UI problem. I really want expanded feed support, which I think is more blocked by the API than emojis.
PieFed does this
Its pretty good
That one doesn't have all of the reactions I need, so I often need to fire up Blorp, find the conversation and do the 7-step process.
But yeah, the emoji button on PieFed is better than Blorp's menu --> React...
100% want to make this menu better. Just havenβt gotten to it yet. Other examples (e.g. PieFed official ui or other) are super helpful
The current Blorp emoji picker is pretty bad. I was thinking about just making it a scrollable grid of emojis you can pick from and maybe search. Basically the same as the emoji keyboard on your phone.
The emoji keyboard on my phone is doing a mighty good job for picking emojis. Evoking its strength takes quite a lot of convincing, though. The ability to copypaste any emoji into the field is cool, though! I mean, you can write whole (simple) words with the Chinese script! :D
