@manton I don't want to pick a fight but how is there a Star Trek tagmoji and not a Star Wars tagmoji?!

@cdevroe @manton Does a Star Wars emoji exist? I couldn't find one with a quick search.

@simonwoods @cdevroe @manton I find your lack of tagmojiโ€ฆ disturbing.

@cdevroe which appears to be non universal - which might be a metaphor?

@cdevroe Mechanical arm, right? Doesn't look like it's in iOS 13 yet. There's also ๐Ÿค– and ๐ŸŒŒ but those aren't quite right. Might need to wait for a Yoda emoji. (When Episode 9 is out, we could make a special Star Wars collection too.)

@manton @JohnPhilpin Yes, mechanical arm. Which is probably about as "inside baseball" as the Vulcan salute? Didn't realize it wasn't supported across platforms yet. cc @simonwoods @adders

@cdevroe @manton Hard disagree on the mechanical arm being as recognisable as the Vulcan salute. The latter appears in all sorts of pop culture exclusively in the context of Star Trek whilst the former is literally just a mechanical arm.

@adders @simonwoods @manton maybe we should use ...

... as the emoji for โ€˜ โ€˜ ?

@adamprocter Here's a link to the TestFlight beta. For Untappd, might be tricky because I think the Untappd API needs some specific metadata for check-ins.

@manton cool, thanks, Iโ€™m half joking re untappd probably start to use my blog now you added the emoji, want to get better at just connecting stuff like that through my blog. Also as I was in app when I got this mention and I didnโ€™t know that there is almost a custom notification for mentions when in app, is that just part of enabling push notifications ?
