Emoji Expander

You know how in Slack, you can type :face_with_rolling_eyes:, and it will give you 🙄?

I built a Chrome extension that basically does the opposite of that on the webpages you visit. When the extension finds an emoji, it replaces the emoji with the text-based equivilent.

For example:

  • ❤️ becomes :heart:
  • 🙀 becomes :scream_cat:
  • 🫠 becomes :melting_face:
  • ✨ becomes :sparkles:
  • 🕴️becomes :man_in_business_suit_levitating:

Et cetera, you get the picture. Or well... you don't. You get some text instead of the picture. That's the whole point.

You can find it over on GitHub.
