Like semver, but with emojis!

What does it do?

Instead of using numbers in semver, let's use emojis! Emojizing a semver is deterministic! You always get the same result from the same "classic" semver.

Each product has its own semver, though!

Version 4.8.15 from product A will have different emojis than 4.8.15 from product B.

Some examples!!

See the following:

• Product 1.0.0 : 👉🏼.🧔🏽.🈺
• Product 1.0.1 : 👉🏼.🧔🏽.🦒
• Product 1.0.2 : 👉🏼.🧔🏽.🐤
• Product 1.1.0 : 👉🏼.👍🏿.🍖
• Product 1.2.0 : 👉🏼.🧜🏼‍♂️.🌓
• Product 1.2.1 : 👉🏼.🧜🏼‍♂️.🚴‍♂️
• Product 2.0.0 : 🕒.👨🏻‍🎨.👮🏾‍♀️

Please note

• It is easy to see if 2 semvers are related
• It becomes hard to order versions (Should 👉🏼 come before or after 🕒? Especially as it depends on the product)
• Depending on where you print the emojis, you may need to do some transformation.
• Some systems don't support some emojis (like the flags, or the skin colour, or the gender)

Improvements

• PyPI package
• Provide a custom set of emojis to pick from (to constrain from the full set)
• Include/exclude families/versions/features of emojis
• Return other formats besides str (like tuple or the same as semver package)
• Return other types of output (like ":fountain_pen:" for 🖋️)
• Unit-tests
