Hey HN,

I saw the one million checkboxes post the other day and thought it was really cool. I wanted to work on a fun project with the same sort of style, some type of collaborative game with websockets, and thought of a funny idea. What if we had one million emojis?

Genius idea, I know.

There are some interesting differences. You can’t change an emoji once it’s selected, so it’s permanently yours! The grid stays the same no matter what, so by the end of this we’ll have some type of giant square flag of emojis if it gets filled out.

Please don’t make anything horrible

Full credit goes to eieio for making one million checkboxes and inspiring this project! Check out their stuff here: https://eieio.games/

I make things and also talk about them sometimes: https://torresjuan.com/
