#[0] or #[1] , what are the possible reaction types to a note? Is it just Like, and then the client determines whther to show a heart, or are "shaka" and "like" two different reaction types? are there others?

The Kind 7 ("Like") event has a "content" property where you can put whatever text you want. Blank is a standard "Like". Damus puts the hand gesture instead. But you could put any icon in there you wanted.

Thanks. #[2] thinks there should be no Like... only Replies and Zaps. I am still mulling that over.

Same. On the one hand I get it -- likes are easy and therefore significantly less meaningful. Zaps require a bit of effort and value transfer. On the other hand, Likes also help a content creator gauge sentiment, which can be important.
