Mutant Standard emoji @mutant

@lexi11/27/2022, 3:17 PM

if you ever wanted to :awoo: in chosts, you're in luck: now you can! 'awoo' sign, showing a wolf howling

i ported the @mutant standard emoji set by @dzuk to cohost with a userscript + a website!

features:

it supports the full mutant standard emoji set
it supports all variations, and has a picker for them
you can make emojis in the default size or bigger
it's fully accessible (automatically sets alt text & title based on emoji metadata, eg alt="paw hand (tan fur colour)" title="paw hand (tan fur colour)")
it supports cohost posts as well as comments, and autodetects comment sections
you can even use it in other places that support markdown/HTML
everyone can see them, even if they do not have the script installed
it has a nice UI for picking emojis

emoji picker and variant selector

you can use it at https://mutant.us.to (no userscript required), and install the userscript (what is that?/how do i install that?) from there, and you can open the emoji picker by pressing CTRL+. (and Control+. on macOS) or the smiley making a ':3' face icon next to the old emoji button! and the source code is available on github (but it is a bit messy lol)

EDIT: i forgot to add an update URL, so if you installed it before i edited this in: reinstall the userscript you will get updates now (and there will be a few)

EDIT 2: i released a new update with a bunch of features! https://cohost.org/lexi/post/474136-b-style-font-size

a few technical details for nerds:

@lexi11/27/2022, 11:03 PM

just pushed an update!

if you have installed it before my edit, you need to manually start the update, otherwise it should give you a prompt automatically. you can try/install it here: https://mutant.us.to/

added better keyboard navigation (use (shift) tab to navigate)

keyboard navigation showcase

added SVG support

dropdown menu saying "SVG, scaleable"

added better scaling support

dropdown showing various values from 0.25x to 10x

general UI overhaul

the emoji picker, with a cleaner UI and drop shadows

made it more accessible (more usage of semantic HTML)

DOM showing semantic HTML

added a button next to the normal emoji picker (which also makes it usable on mobile as a userscript!)

two emoji buttons, one from cohost and one mutant standard

better emoji sizing (thanks @jkap & indirectly @ticky!)
no CORS warning anymore (thanks @amgg!)
better firefox support
greasemonkey support (thanks @amgg!)
lots of other bugfixes (see the git if you're curious, there are a lot lol)

if anything does break LMK and i'll look into it smiley making a ':3' face

pushed a last second update because the markdown links didn't say the name of the generator before, but should work now!

edit: yep, update is live & works :)

'awoo' sign, showing a wolf howling

this is cool! i can't figure out how to open the picker on cohost, or is that not actually a feature yet!

@lexi11/27/2022, 3:31 PM

OH MY GOD I FORGOT TO ADD THAT DJFGHJKHDFGJG ONE SEC

edit: added it to the post, its ctrl+. lmao

Dae the Dergbold 💜✨@DaeDergbold11/27/2022, 5:23 PM

aaaa- one question I have; would it be possible to have the option to use the SVG variants of the Mutant emojis so they stay pretty with any scaling? iirc cohost treats SVGs exactly the same as raster images, so theoretically it wouldn't be tooo difficult? pleading

@lexi11/27/2022, 5:27 PM

i can add that, but the problem is that that will break in comment mode because you cannot set the scaling in markdown images, but ill add an option!

Dae the Dergbold 💜✨@DaeDergbold11/27/2022, 5:32 PM

Ohhh! alright I'll keep that in mind
awee, but thankyouuu!!!
Aaaa I'm looking forward to being able to post Gigantic emojis on the fly, just with a width & height adjustment without them looking crusty >.=.< purple heart

jae @jkap11/27/2022, 5:24 PM

this kicks ass and has me thinkin about adding at least some of the mutant standard emoji to our custom set............

one suggestion: in html mode, you should consider setting the height to var(--emoji-scale), which we calculate for our own custom emoji to have their sizes visually match up with how your browser renders native emoji! (for example, on windows 11 firefox it's set to 1.4em). obvs optional but something to consider!

@lexi11/27/2022, 5:26 PM

ooh yep i could do that, didn't even think of that, good point!

jae @jkap11/27/2022, 5:28 PM

it's extremely Not Documented so idk how many people even know it's there lmao

fun note on that: we're using @ticky's library for the detection! https://github.com/ticky/mojibaka

@lexi11/27/2022, 5:29 PM

ooh, neat!

Jessica @ticky11/28/2022, 2:21 AM

im helping! 😃

noah @noahtheduke11/27/2022, 6:34 PM

Can i donate to bump the priority of this ticket in your jira/trello/post it notes board?

@lexi11/27/2022, 6:44 PM

adding to @noahtheduke's comment: if you need some help with it, i can donate some code. if you need the parsing code, a custom emoji selector etc feel free to copy my code :)

jae @jkap11/28/2022, 3:59 AM

thanks!! right now it’s a question of if we Can under the terms of the license (cohost is technically a commercial entity so unsure if we meet the non-commercial requirement) but we’ll see!

frankie boyle's beanbag chair of death @micolithe11/27/2022, 7:37 PM

For whatever reason I can't seem to get the CTRL+. shortcut to work on linux mint + firefox, i'm baffled, any idea what I could be doing wrong here?

edit: actually it doesn't work on windows either? maybe its a greasemonkey problem.

edit 2: yes it was a greasemonkey problem, if you are having trouble like i was, use tampermonkey instead.

shuppy @delan11/27/2022, 8:01 PM

so i use afraid.org which is super reliable, but that doesn't support CNAME entries

you probably already know this, but just in case, did you know you can do CNAME records if you use afraid’s secondary service with your own primary? (also works with he.net’s secondary)

@lexi11/27/2022, 8:18 PM

i'd still need a domain for that though, the subdomain is free forever and can't expire

shuppy @delan11/28/2022, 6:21 AM

ahh good point, i forgot about that!

hecko @hecko11/28/2022, 11:34 AM

what are either of you talking about‽ literally the first time i used freedns i made a cname on a public domain name with no issues (at least until it went down for unrelated reasons, rip 69.mu)

here i just did it again http://hecko.my.to/ (you can tell it's fresh because there's no ssl yet)

did my account get grandfathered in or something because i know i made it years ago for no specific reason

@lexi11/28/2022, 11:39 AM

you can enable it, but you have to talk to people and i am too shy to mail the admins

hecko @hecko11/28/2022, 11:42 AM

ah, mood

amgg @amgg11/27/2022, 9:31 PM

ooooh this is super cool!

one little note - when it tries to load the emoji data tampermonkey will pop up with an "A userscript wants to access a cross-origin resource" page the user needs to manually accept, you can add a connect to the metadata block (@connect lxhom.github.io) to prevent that

also it seems to be broken on greasemonkey (happens a lot, usually it's caused by how they sandbox scripts), I'll see if I can get it working on there

@lexi11/27/2022, 9:44 PM

oh yeah, thanks for the tip with @connect! i don't have GM support planned but if you manage to make it work feel free to make a PR :3

amgg @amgg11/27/2022, 11:12 PM

figured it out (apparently they renamed GM_xmlhttpRequest to GM.xmlHttpRequest ??) & opened a PR for it

@lexi11/27/2022, 11:26 PM

merged & deployed it, ty!

Izvy Raspberry @Izvy11/28/2022, 6:52 PM

ive never used a user script before. google says i can just drag and drop the javascript file into extensions set to developer mode but it doesnt seem to be working weary

@lexi11/28/2022, 7:02 PM

oh yep, it uses a few userscript-specific APIs. you can install https://www.tampermonkey.net/ to get started :)

Izvy Raspberry @Izvy11/28/2022, 7:12 PM

raised paw hands (sky blue) red panda thank you! i got it now!

No regular paws (non-hands)?

shork @shork7/3/2023, 6:43 AM

reminder that mutant standard is cc by-nc-sa so you gotta put attribution somewhere if you use it (see https://mutant.tech/download)

@lexi7/3/2023, 1:25 PM

it attributes it on the source code and on the installation/preview website and all of the images generated have that website as an url in it so it should be fine (also dzuk thinks its cool and hasnt pointed out a licensing issue so i think i did it correctly lol)

shork @shork7/3/2023, 5:15 PM

I meant for people who post with the emojos in their posts

this is so good!!!!! it works really well on firefox hand making sign of the horns (light red)

@lexi11/27/2022, 11:52 PM

fun fact: this did not work at all on FF because for some reason onload doesn't work, then i fixed it and tested it one (1) time and since then it just worked lol

a strange meadow @wowperfect11/27/2022, 11:53 PM

I was very confused when I tried ctrl-. and cmd-. (unsure if you were going for ctrl or command on macos) and neither worked, figured I'd give you some time to fix in case you knew about it loool

@lexi11/27/2022, 11:58 PM

oh right, i completely forgot that macos exists. i dont have a mac here rn, if you click the equivalent of the ctrl key on your keyboard on this page, does it say false or true if you [modifier]-click the button? https://yari-demos.prod.mdn.mozit.cloud/en-US/docs/Web/API/KeyboardEvent/metaKey/_sample_.examples.html

a strange meadow @wowperfect11/28/2022, 12:00 AM

it says true but ctrl-. brings up the picker smiley grinning while sweating so um looooooool

sorry for my brain being so small but how do i use userscripts? im using vivaldi as a browser if that means anything

Fluffies🐾 & ☉∇ ΘΔ Ⓥ @Fluffies11/28/2022, 4:04 AM

Hello! Try installing Tampermonkey! Then just go to https://mutant.us.to/, you will find a link to the userscript, and Tampermonkey will open it. Then click install!
