Some of you may have noticed there have been no emote additions for half a year. If not, sorry for bringing attention to it. I technically have a patch on standby but it's unmaintained, so, yeah.

So I had to go to do a summer job, which was live in, right? the wifi was shit, didn't have my computer since it's a summer camp either way, so that chunks out like, two months of time. After that, I get a three day break, then am thrusted straight into college, which is hell. My workload exhausts me to the point where im not thinking of maintaining the emotes, and i like making and adding emotes.

So yeah, unfortunately, I'm the only one who's been maintaining the emotes themselves directly through the git for a while now, and i havent gotten the chance to document my workflow.

So starting mid-december, I have a four week break of zero work. I'll use a part of this time to sweep /c/emoji submissions and vet them for addition. Then, I'll push a patch by the end of winter break and that should catch us up once merged.

Going forward, it's going to be more sparse, but I will try to keep it up to date. I'm still getting used to college, and I'm also going to try to document my workflow so the process can become independent of me. Sorry for the delays.

    Welcome back! Take care of yourself!

    Making sure other people know how to update it seems like a very good thing.

    PS: There's a lot of good stuff if you sort by top/year. But mine's the best obvi.

    I have literally no idea how difficult the job is but if there's any grunt work that is just replicating certain tasks that could save you some of your time I'd be happy to help, my coding skill is minimal but I do have some spare time.
