Awesome dude, I love projects like these.

Yes, Dutchman here. It seems to intuitively understand when you want local results vs. international. When it doesn't, you can easily toggle above the search results. I'm never looking back.

I wonder if they're ever going to decide that enough emoji is enough, or will continue adding more until every word in the dictionary is an emoji. There have been some ridiculous inclusions in the past years despite more obvious candidates that are still missing.

The great thing about emoji used to be the constraints, which made for a clear overview of available emoji and made people use the limited set in creative ways to express different things. Besides the more extraneous options, they never should've started adding things like skin/hair color modifiers imo, sticking to the single yellow/neutral color instead. Counterproductively, that opened up ways for people to not feel represented.

Dang is a person; the main moderator on HN, but thanks for the laugh :D

This is the best description of how I experience my mind's eye that I've read so far.

I never have trouble imagining things as they do clearly 'render'—I can picture scenes, shapes, faces, motion, the styling of text I remember, basically anything—but it doesn't result in true visual output where I can see things as if I have my eyes open. If the latter is something that people can truly do, then I guess I do have some form of aphantasia.

Good to know! If we go by jurisdiction, it seems that surprisingly NordVPN (Panama) is better than these two.

I've seen people here mention IVPN in the same breath as Mullvad; do you have any insight on how they compare? AFAIK Mullvad is based in Sweden, which is a Fourteen Eyes country, whereas IVPN is based in Gibraltar, which is not.
