My body wants to upgrade my shitposting ability, but technology holds me back 🫠

Using Jerboa, which is great, but emotes are my white whale

          I realize that, but it "costs" more in attention capital to use a website versus an app.

            90% sure you can install hexbear as a PWA and use the firefox version as an app (I used to do it, haven't used it in a while since I don't have a smartphone)

            regardless "just take an uber" is on a whole other level of shitty smugness, but I do get the annoyance, native apps tend to be a bit better designed/tested than web apps and offer some conveniences.

    Same, I haven't found one yet. You'd think that it would be more of a priority for Jerboa developers.

      nah we are the only ones that use them heavily last I checked so its never been a priority for anyone else. One of our devs developed the feature for the web UI/backend, and they don't seem to place that much importance on feature parity in jerboa.

      It's open source though so if anyone is interested in attempting they would probably accept the PR

    I have mentioned this before. But I use thunder. It doesn't have emote support but it atleast shows them properly and I can save them as images to use em.

    Unfortunately haven’t found any that support the emotes, but Thunder for iPhone (TestFlight only) does show me taglines which is cool.

    If you have something like Firefox, you should be able to pin the website to the start menu making it act separately from the browser

      Wait it does? In what way? It doesn't seem to have a way to search the emotes. It displays them but at full scale instead of emoji scale.
