Emojitracker is a complex project with a service-oriented architecture, and thus has now been split up into multiple repositories. This repository mainly just serves as table of contents of sorts. Major components of the project are listed below.

Note Since 2021, Emojitracker was acquired by Emojipedia, and is now maintained by them. You can find all of the repositories in the Emojitracker GitHub organization.

Other Information

The narrative version of how version 1.0 of this project was built is in the Medium post "How I Built Emojitracker", and the followup "How I Kept Building Emojitracker". Note however, both are now quite out of date, and do not reflect a substantial amount of change over the past few years.
