 @[ARCHIVED] Jay how are you creating and using custiom emojis?

I see your content on emojito its great 
 Once I steal a gif from somewhere, I'll put it in Gimp to resize and brighten them up so they're not so dark:

- resize/crop to 128x128px (can do this at the end too)
- hide all but the bottom layer, which is the first frame
- apply a curve filter to increase the contrast so you can make out the contents when it's small
- unhide all of the layers and re-apply the curve filter to all of the layers (ctrl-f I think)
- export as an animated gif
- upload to nostr.build and then add the link to emojito

There was one case where I had to retrack one guy's face into the frame because the camera was moving too much. It's the one of the guy saying What the Fuck and shaking his head. 
 Wow very impressive! I can't believe you took the time on each one. I am sorry to say I don't even see such art as I don't see the reactions. Thank you for helping me out 
 Above and beyond 🫡
