Its not the image format I'm concerned about. I'm concerned that by making gif packs and emoji packs the same kind we are going to end up with clients having to do a lot of filtering
For example if I wanted to build a gif picker in noStrudel I would have to fetch all the emoji packs and filter out the emojis that are not gifs or are too small. and the opposite is also true
i just got done dealing with an incredibly retarded, weakly typed data structure for my paid gig and i just want to say:
NOPE
don't use the same kind number, why? there's 65k available, why?
You will always need to filter by size, regardless if you separate them into two kinds or not. The amount of trash will always be 10x the amount of actual content in these types of architectures.
Also, I am separating gifs that people want to use for replies from complete memes. Those are separate things. These reaction gifs are much closer to custom emojis than to memes.
yes, but I still don't agree that they are the same thing. even if they use the same kind of sets / favorites, gifs need thumbnails and emojis don't and the "emoji" tag (on sets) does not support thumbnails or any extra metadata like the "imeta" tag does
I'm squarely in the two kinds camp for what it's worth. :pepeD:
