I have a silly pet project ๐Ÿ˜‚ can I get some input?

https://www.npmjs.com/package/slashemoji

Last night I had a stupid idea, and wanted to check if it is technically possible. Well, it is!

In a nutshell: Emoji support for your website's URLs.

yourwebsite.com/contact - booring
yourwebsite.com/๐Ÿ“ž - cool!

So I wrote a nodejs middleware that offers automatic emoji support for your API, with 2 lines of code. (well if you count the installation 3 lines)

Here's the project:
https://www.npmjs.com/package/emoji-express

I currently have support for the /contact and /about routes.

Can you give me some ideas of what other URLs to cover, and what emojis to link the routes to?

          These are great, I'll add them to the defaults. Except the money bag, which is already taken for pricing, but I'll put a coin emoji for donate :-)

    That's a really good idea actually! It would make web development more fun and visual!

    With your permission, I'll share it on TW tagging you.!

      404, by definition, should not be its own URL :)
