This is really cool. But half the fun for me is to pick the emojis at the end of the message. And they "add" to the mood of my message, they don't "amplify" it. Hence this wouldn't work for me most of the time o_0 ;(

Well you can search in Dango, too ;) But yeah our main focus is suggestions. You can use Dango concurrently with the normal emoji keyboard, of course! It can just sit there showing you emoji you might not know about "ambiently"

It seems like you're so close to having a full predictive virtual keyboard (with nothing but dynamically-generated keys).

Have you given any thought on integrating this with some sort of bluetooth thimble-like button (makey makey?) on each finger for untethered typing?

I've written more about this line of reasoning here[1] if you're interested. Feel free to ping me on twitter if there's any way I can help. Congrats on this awesome project!

I might add that this is pretty much exactly what Elon Musk is asking for with his "Neural Lace" idea to merge humans and machines in "symbiosis".

Replace thimble-keys with OpenBCI and you already have it.

Urbit.org sounds like a good fit for the immutable append-only content-addressable private keylog (now would be the time for a portmanteau generator). I would love to help in any way to make this happen.

Do you guys have API?

Not officially, although people have started reverse-engineering the website ;).

We can get an actually supported one up officially if there's interest. Email me at xavier@whirlscape.com!

Yeah, I saw that you guys take a query test and spit out json with emojis :). It would be nice to have official one so you guys don't cut IPs off :)
