Autoji - AI Emoji Suggester 🤖✨

A Chrome extension that uses AI to suggest the perfect emoji for any text. Because apparently, humans can't be trusted to choose their own emojis anymore.

Features

• 🎯 Instant emoji suggestions for selected text
• 🧠 AI-powered recommendations
• ⚡ Quick access via right-click menu or keyboard shortcut
• 🎨 Beautiful, minimal interface
• 🔒 Privacy-focused: No data collection

Installation

1. Download from the Chrome Web Store (Coming soon)

Or install manually (if you enjoy pain):

1. Clone this repository
2. Run npm install to install dependencies (another set of node_modules to burden your hard drive)
3. Run npm run build:prod to create a production build
4. Open Chrome and navigate to chrome://extensions
5. Enable "Developer mode" in the top right
6. Click "Load unpacked" and select the dist directory
7. Question your life choices that led you to installing yet another browser extension

Usage

1. Select any text on a webpage
2. Right-click and select "Suggest Emoji with Autoji"
3. Or use the keyboard shortcut: Ctrl+Shift+E (Windows/Linux) or ⌘+Shift+E (Mac)
4. Marvel at the AI's attempt to understand human emotion
5. Click to copy the suggested emoji

Development

The extension development process is as meaningless as existence itself, but here's how to do it:

Prerequisites

1. Install Vercel CLI (because we need more global dependencies):

npm install -g vercel

2. Login to Vercel (if you haven't already):

vercel login

Development Workflow

# Install dependencies (because we can't live without them)
npm install

# Start the API server locally (watch as your CPU weeps)
vercel dev

# In another terminal of despair:
# 1. Make your changes to the source files
# 2. Manually reload the extension in chrome://extensions
# 3. Question your life choices

For local development:

1. Start the API server with vercel dev
2. Load the extension in Chrome from the root directory
3. Make your changes to the source files
4. Click the reload button in chrome://extensions
5. Repeat steps 3-4 until you lose all hope

The extension will use:

• Development: http://localhost:3000 (provided by Vercel dev server)
• Production: https://autoji.vercel.app

Production Build

When you're ready to submit your extension to the Chrome Web Store (though why bother?):

# Create a production build (another zip file destined for rejection)
npm run build:prod

This is the only npm script we have. Because sometimes less is more depressing.

Privacy

This extension requires minimal permissions (though that's what they all say):

• contextMenus: For the right-click menu functionality
• storage: To remember your preferences (if you have any)
• clipboardWrite: To copy emojis to clipboard

Support

If something goes wrong (and it probably will):

• Open an issue on GitHub
• Send a carrier pigeon
• Scream into the void

License

MIT - Because sharing is caring, even in this meaningless universe.
