@feld In my experience the default emoji picker is often very buggy in some apps (namely apps like Discord, Slack, and even my web browser of choice Vivaldi where it doesn’t show up half the time)
@nileane what do you mean by "doesn't show up", though? the shortcut I referred to makes it pop up everywhere, that's the only way I've ever used the emoji picker on MacOS haha -

@feld I literally mean that it doesn't pop up in those instances
(unless maybe if I jam the keyboard shortcut 3 or 4 times in a row) -
@nileane oh wah, félicitations !!!
@Kalytis Merciiii !

I'm launching a tiny Mac app 🥺
🤏
It's called TinyStart, and it's a lightweight Launcher and Emoji picker for macOS!Unlike Spotlight, TinyStart is super fast at showing results and launching apps. It never becomes overcrowded with search results you don't need, and it lets you open URLs, perform web searches with custom search engines, and quickly open folders in Finder.
Oh and yes, I think the Emoji picker is pretty good too. It's everything the default macOS Emoji picker isn't: it's fast, it lets you insert Emojis in any text field, it isn't picky about keywords, and it learns your favorite Emojis over time.
Get TinyStart at https://tinystart.app: it's €5, you pay for it once and future updates are free!
also I made a lil' video to show you what it looks like:
@nileane Congrats on the launch! I will have to try it out

@nileane Very cool! I was really disappointed by the new Spotlight and have been on a hunt for an alternative launcher for a while! Maybe this can be it.
Couple of questions:
1. Is it localised? So will it find Settings even if I type the German „Systemeinstellungen“?
2. Does it support window management commands beyond quitting apps? And if it doesn’t, would it be a feature you would consider for a future update, or is that out of scope?
3. Is the licence per-machine or per user?Thanks!
-
Btw, many thanks to my Mastodon mutuals who have helped me refine the app and squash bugs over the past two weeks. You've been a massive help!
@nileane looks fantastic, looking forward to trying it. Also that website is delightful?? Somehow the charm and whimsical aesthetics along with the price make it feel very persuasive!

@amxmln Thanks!
1. Not localized yet. I would love to get to it at some point. But if I do it, I wanna do it well. Do note though that the emoji picker already lets you search for emojis in a handful of languages beyond just English! (including German)
2. I think that's out of scope yeah.
3. Buy once, use on all your machines!
