Emojist Home [WIP]

While using Emojist, I noticed that it takes a lot of time to load the page and the performance when there are lot of icons is very bad — but when there are a few icons the site’s performance is pretty good.

After thinking for a while, I realized that the best solution was to only show a few emojis. But then it came the problem: how do I do it? The obvious answer was to include a search bar before loading the emojis — just as Google does: we don’t show you any result until you type in the bar.

In addition to that, I decided to include the icons from the categories, so if you don’t know the name of the emoji, you can look for it inside of its category.
