I built https://emojithis.com, which automatically adds emojis to text. Although it’s essentially an AI wrapper, with meaningful UX and some useful touches, there’s something surprisingly useful in there. My friends and I use it a lot, and the people who try it tend to come back!

Oops. Missed that! That's kind of a relief. I was afraid that it was "remembering" things I was not in control of!

I checked settings, personalization, the memory is empty. I'm using, GPT-4o. I think it's an update, it wasn't like that before.

Or did it decide that I'm really into emojis because I recently used it a lot for an emoji-related thing?

That's funny! I've made a "tool"[1] that "automatically" adds emojis to text. It is even worse for your example! It adds two train emojis for some reason. "Yesterday we flew [plane emoji] to Japan [Flag of Japan] and took[train emoji] the train[train profile emoji] and saw Mt. Fuji [emoji of Mt. Fuji]"

I did a ShowHN because I thought it was a good idea but it flopped. Maybe I should pivot my idea toward kindergarteners!

Show HN: Emoji This – A tool to decorate your texts with emojis

notreallymy — Wed, 22 Jan 2025 16:17:16 +0000

Hi HN! I have created a website (and app) where you can send a text, and it will decorate it with relevant emojis: https://emojithis.com

I noticed that I often use ChatGPT to add emojis to my messages, so I created a super simple one-API-call thing. I ended up using it a lot, and after a 5-minute search, I noticed that something like this didn’t exist!

So, I asked ChatGPT for a website design (please don't judge me :) ), made the tool more robust, and showed it to some friends. Naturally, they asked for more features, such as a list of relevant emojis, which proved to be very popular. They also asked for an app, which gave me the opportunity to check React Native (pretty OK for small projects like this!).

Other things: I tried to run LLaMA locally on my server, but it could not handle more than two requests concurrently. Hallucinations and 'jailbreaking' are hopefully taken care of. There are some AI API costs, and I may shut it down if they get out of hand (unlikely). I thought about adding a small ad to compensate for the costs, but Google did not approve the site. I added some content and reapplied. The mobile apps have ads. That's my get-rich-quick scheme (joke).

I created an internal tool to convert images to pdf (using wasm) so I don't have to install any programs. Then a friend wanted to use it too, so I got a url ( https://privateconvert.com ) and then got carried a little bit away adding more conversions.

Not only that. He knew the project name I created!
