In plain words

Ecoji is an encoding system that converts data into emojis using a base1024 format. It translates binary information into sequences of emoji characters, allowing users to represent and share data in a playful visual format. The project is designed for developers and anyone interested in alternative data encoding methods, offering a practical yet unconventional way to handle digital information through emoji representation.

    Hey HN! I've built this bit of cuteware (software not solving a problem but just for fun) inspired from the patterns made by swipe typing on mobile devices. To me it seemed like the closest thing to an English version of Kanji and it would be cool to consistently recreate those patterns.

It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
