gmeet-emoji's Issues

Improve UI

Description:

Needs a lot of work to improve UI.
Have this thread as a discussion regarding probable suggestions. Feel free to Submit a PR regarding the same.

Implement Caching

Description :

Caching techniques, such as LRU cache, could help users get their most frequently used emojis easily, hence improving user experience to a great extent.

How to Approach :

Use local storage to store the recently used emojis. Can have max cache length around 20-25. Create a new default section of those emojis.

Have a look at :

• https://medium.com/dsinjs/implementing-lru-cache-in-javascript-94ba6755cda9

Feel free to change the default rendering UI accordingly, but have a prior discussion before implementation.

Create Separate Emojis.json For Different OS

Some Emojis are not supported on different OS. E.g. While Ubuntu uses the latest Emoji support, Windows hasn't been updated yet. To remove this inconsistency of emojis with boxes, we could separate different emojis based on OS and then render based on that.

Expected :

win.json , ubuntu.json, mac.json

Probable Solutions :

1. Google different emoji sets.
2. Open the emojis.json file, remove the ones who aren't being rendered.

General Question: How to publish extension publicly as a web developer

Hello, is there a way as a web developer, to make this extension public and share a link under chrome extension website to allow people to download it and install it?

I am signed up with google dev program, do I need any special credentials?
