Emojis in Database Table - Tip from Zeroqode

[levon]

Hey Bubblers,
Ion - one of our team members - came up with an unexpected but smart and elegant idea for naming database types in Bubble. Check it out

We implemented this in one of our upcoming templates (teaser - we are about to post a Thumbtack template)

Enjoy!

Currently making a database entirely out of Emojiis

[levon]

ha, very cool

Thanks @levon. This makes it easier for the eyes to find stuff as well.

You can use it on main groups to originze different views on pages made like one-page apps.
And you can use it to organize workflows, too.

This tip also comes in handy.

Emoji List Popup for inputs

Just a tip, if you need a quick emoji list popup hit the Windows key + the period on your keyboard. Or right click and select the ‘Emoji’ option. This works for Chrome, haven’t tested in other browsers. [image] [image]

A raise for Ion!

Do you use your own ID field per Type?

I dont really understand what you mean. Add emojis to your data types and fields, it will be easier to read.

[JonL]

Zeroqode’s version is much better.

Has anybody figured out how to encode these for use with the Bubble Data api?

[JonL]

Hace you tried unicode codes?

[mebeingken]

Haven’t spent a lot of time trying, but yeah unicode and urlencode values didn’t work on my first pass. Really just curious at this point.

[levon]

@danielowega didn’t see that post thanks!

I use this method with workflows too. Especially useful with Custom Workflows. I mark all Custom Workflows in the color green, and have a collection of emojis that makes it easy to sort and and recognize workflows that exist in a lot of different reusable elements.

@hikaru was the one who brought the idea of using emojis in Bubble to my attention some time back. For Mac users, he also gave me a useful link to quickly search for emojis: GitHub - muan/mojibar: 🍊 Emoji searcher but as a menubar app.

I find myself to often use this website for emojis.

For those of you that don’t know. Hikaru = Beau = A lot of other accounts. He was multi-accounting to harass and bully other forum users and from time to time he shared emoji tips. He doesn’t deserse any additional credit.

@JonL

Really? I had no idea, and I’m frankly surprised, as he helped me out with lots of design feedback and even ideas, with no strings attached (refused to be paid, even) on a project a few months back. Seemed like the nicest guy.

[JonL]

Yeah. He helped a lot of people and then bullied in the shadows. Weird stuff.

[petter]

Haha, yeah, that is pretty weird…

nice tip, Petter, thanks!

he reached out under “beau” account and seemed nice, really weird …

[danielowega]

This is not true jon you should not slander without any evidence. He said you are upset because he ignored your message and you have had a grudge ever since.
Levon we showed our editor to your team that’s where this idea was formed from.
