built this tool that generates custom emoticons. It’s pretty fun to use, but I feel like it could be better. Since you guys are brutally honest (and creative), I figured this is the best place to ask: What features should I add? Anything annoying or clunky about it? Any cool ideas to make it stand out? Let me know your thoughts. Rip it apart if you have to—just want to make it as good as possible. Site name: EmoticonHub

Agree with less cookies and trackers if possible. Google doesn't need to see my emoticons.

Also would prefer a JS free-version if possible, but I can see how that might not work.

Or maybe you're also collecting the IPs of everyone here by cross referencing usernames with the emoticons used in comments and copied from your site. Statistically, this would actually be pretty easy to use to doxx people's IPs/locations that way.

A JS-free version would have to have the work offloaded to a server via an API request. I'm not sure if that'd be any better. At least with JS, you can theoretically read the code running on your machine
