Congrats @wilbertliu !! Mumu is my go-to since it launched ast year and I'm delighted to see you taking the headache out of finding the emoji I think I want! The GPT-3 aspect sounds 🔥 can't wait to try it 🤓

Thank you @jacarandachick! Really appreciate your kind words here 😊 I still remember how you requested skin tone changer back then. And now it's more diverse, as I could change the skin tone directly on the emoji that I want. Let me know if you have any feedback 🙏🏼

@wilbertliu congrats on the launch! I have to say, I'm disappointed that after previously buying Mumu, this update is another $35. The previous app hasn't been updated to support the new emoji and feels like abandonware. Not sure I'm ready to put more money into products that aren't maintained.

Hi @chrismessina, appreciate your feedback here. First of all I'm sorry to make you feel left behind, but let me shade some truths here. The app was actually updated regularly, until some people (including you) requested to support the latest emojis. Back then the architecture was very hard to incorporate these changes, and I was working on workaround here and there, which made the update was slower to ship. If you pay close attention to the app, I've added some newer emojis since the last launch of Mumu last year. I've tried to, but it becomes more impossible by time. And Mumu X is actually the answer of all these messes. I rewrote it from the ground up – so that it's even faster in its window opening, emoji searching, etc – and made sure I pack this with the latest emoji version that I could find. Not only that, I made the synonym search even better with GPT-3 generated synonyms and so on. So I believe the value is worth it for $35. It is cheap if you spend enough time picking emoji in your daily needs. Consider this – let’s say you have to restart your mac every time the emoji picker doesn’t work or have to seek the name of emoji that you want to pick because you can’t find it by synonyms. Put it roughly around 5 minutes. Let’s assume that at least you experience it 3 times a week. That's 15 minutes a week in total, and adds up to 1 hour a month. Now put an average of freelance rate at $50/hour, buying Mumu X at $35 FOR A LIFETIME is totally a steal! I hope that's clear enough for you, Chris. Last but not least, I genuinely hope you could join us onboard. Miss your in-app constructive feedback ❤️

@wilbertliu thanks for the response. I'm not questioning the value of the product per se, but calling out the feeling that I bought a product that I: 1) expected would be maintained over time 2) would always be updated to support whatever emoji were available at the system level 3) if the app were no longer maintained but a new product was launched to replace it, I would receive some recognition as a previous customer to encourage me to update to the new product Because I've been unsatisfied with Mumu for some time (and sent you several items of feedback without any response), I assumed that the product had been abandoned, which is the case. Instead of taking care of your existing customers' needs, you've moved on and built a replacement, leaving your previous customers with a product that is no longer fit for purpose (at least as the number of emoji continues to grow). Yes, you're offering a $35 LIFETIME offer for Mumu X, but you made the same offer with Mumu and it was not maintained for my lifetime. It became obsolete within six months of purchase. So it's unclear whether you'll do with same thing with Mumu X. Again, I understand and do value the time that you put into Mumu X, but as a customer of Mumu, what I'm asking for is to exchange my Mumu license for a discount on the Mumu X license.

Thanks @stefanvetter! I can't be more grateful to have you onboard 🙏🏼

Update: It recognized shaka (🤙 ) immediately, already worth it. Thanks @wilbertliu 🙏 ...and yes, I used it to input the emojis above.

Hey @flowen_nl 👋🏼 The GPT-3 is used to generate more synonyms. Back then the synonyms were generated by hands, but now GPT-3 has made more than I could, which eventually made the emoji finding has more result and more related to what you want to get. Ah, thanks for your feedback about the video. If you want to see it in a slower way, you could play and pause the video above. Appreciate your support, man!

@bilal_chaglani I had it back then, but not enough people that want to use it, so I shut it down.

@martin_stellar Well, I can't even go back to the built-in emoji picker. Apple doesn't care about it, so I scratched the itch and hope it would be useful for somebody else.

@ridderingand Thanks Michael! Appreciate it, really.

@cn__katie Whichever does make you happy, Katie! 🙃 Thanks for stopping by..

@wilbertliu So what's the breed? Akita-inu or Shiba Inu?

@cn__katie Both? 😊
