----

Web design / UX - Looking for someone who can review the design/layout/UI of an existing website, make suggestions for improvements, and then potentially also make the necessary changes. Knowledge in HTML/CSS would be good, experience with SASS would be a bonus.

Initial work would be limited to these projects, but there will be more work like this in the future. I'm operating as a Limited company, so will require a proper invoice etc.

from the ask-hn dept.

I have a small side business running a few websites and earning money through ads. I am based in the EU but many of my users are in the US.So far I have been dealing with legal questions around this myself but I have some questions around data protection and the CCPA that I would like to ask a professional about.

True, but it does give you a hint at least. I would have never guessed that this was a shrimp for example: http://whatmoji.com/?i=b65555fbf55380ec0970a060b2457527

Cool idea, this should work now: http://whatmoji.com/

edit: Looks like HN strips emoji so I can't link to it, but you can try it out by visiting http://whatmoji.com/TEXT_HERE!

Yes, it stores the list of emojis so that you can link to it. The text is never stored.

Are you concerned this might be a privacy issue? I could change it to only store searches on demand.

I see - I just added links to lists of most emojis to the header: http://whatmoji.com/

I hope this helps you waste a few minutes! :)

The idea behind the site was that you would see an emoji on a website somewhere and couldn't figure out what it meant. So the main "use case" I have in mind is indeed someone copy/pasting them from somewhere else.

What would you like to do that would require a bank of emojis on the site itself?

Re:Show HN: I couldn't figure out what an Emoji meant, so I made WhatM... on Tuesday May 24, 2016 @11:07AM (#11762186)
And yes, I know I could have just looked it up in many different ways.

But any programmer knows that an elaborate solution that takes a day of programming is a lot more fun than a 1-minute fix that just solves the problem at hand!
