Emojify: A fast, native GTK4/C++ emoji picker

Hey everyone,

I wanted to share a project I’ve been working on called Emojify—a lightweight, emoji picker meant to be useful.

While there are plenty of Python or Electron-based tools out there, I wanted something that felt instant. Because it's built with C++, gtkmm-4.0, and libadwaita, it’s incredibly snappy, keeps a low memory footprint, and just works.

Installation
Emojify is available as a Flatpak, AppImage, or as a binary for Arch Linux users.
You can install it via AUR at emojify-bin with your preferred manager.

Good stuff. My guess is that it's essentially an input method.

I essentially switch into it with <home> + <space> and an emoji search window appears. I then search for an emoji then hit enter and then the particular emoji appears on my input window?

\o/. I used to have something like that maybe 5 or more years. Guess I have gotten old or something I just barely have the luxury of typing emoji from my PC anymore
