Hello @ekiab,
Thank you for reaching out and for your feedback about Quill plugin!
We have indeed considered the possibility of adding emoji functionality to our editor. However, we have encountered a couple of challenges in this regard. The primary concern is the considerable size of emoji packages, which can significantly impact the performance of applications. This is a key factor we must consider, as we strive to maintain a balance between functionality and efficiency.
It’s also worth noting that most devices today come equipped with their own emoji keyboards, providing a vast array of options for users. This built-in feature somewhat mitigates the immediate need for an integrated emoji tool in Quill.
That being said, we are constantly exploring new features to enhance user experience. For instance, we have recently introduced the @mention feature as an individual modular component for Quill. This approach allows us to add this feature without compromising the overall performance of the application.
Your feedback is valuable to us, and it will be a significant consideration in our decision-making process. If the modular approach proves successful and well-received, we will certainly explore the possibility of developing an emoji module along similar lines.
We appreciate your understanding and your support for our efforts to improve the plugin. Please feel free to share any further thoughts or suggestions you might have.
Best regards,
Mehrdad
