Have you felt that your default emojis are just a little bland? That you just wanted to replace them with pictures of you (or your friend's) faces?
Well, want no more! Willmojis (named after our lovely friend Will, of course) are designed to automatically generate a downloadable TTF emoji font from a small album of photos. Our website will take a zip file containing photos, run them through Azure's Face API to help identify the most appropriate emoji, and then crop the images to the perfect size.
Since this was made at a hackathon, it probably won't work for you (or even us again) :(
Anyway, these are some instructions that might help you get it installed.
Follow the installation instructions in font/README.md, then run:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
$ FLASK_APP=server flask run
Ensure that the following environment variables are present and filled with appropriate values:
- AZURE_FACE_KEY
- AZURE_FACE_ENDPOINT
- AZURE_BING_KEY
- AZURE_BING_ENDPOINT
You can create a .credentials file that you can then source:
export AZURE_FACE_KEY=...
export AZURE_FACE_ENDPOINT=...
export AZURE_BING_KEY=...
export AZURE_BING_ENDPOINT=...
