Looking for maintainers! 🧑‍💻

[arronhunt]

Hey community, thank you for all the support you have given for this library! This is a call for support. RN development isn’t something I do often and it can be hard for me to test and validate PRs in and publish releases, especially when I no longer keep up with RN releases. That being said, I’m looking for a maintainer to help keep this library up to date for the RN community.

If you are interested in becoming a maintainer for this project, please send an email to arronjhunt AT gmail DOT com

@arronhunt I've got a new pkg going https://www.npmjs.com/package/rn-emoji-picker that follows some of your original ui design pattern (top tab bar, large emoji rows) but with major deviations:

• it's storage agnostic - user chooses what storage library to use for recents (allowing people to adopt the new JSI synchronous storage solutions)

• it does not include the emoji data source in the bundle by default. It's there if you want to import it, but recommend using and asset loader or over network and saving to async storage to keep app bundles and execution to a minimum.

• collected all the data I could find on emoji keywords into the dataset so that search results are very forgiving and native feeling

• latest react functional components, hooks and best practices for rendering performance

• uses section list to display recents and "all" on one tab
