Grid based Emoji Picker

[kiliankoe]

This uses the new LazyVGrid. It works, but it's far from ideal, especially regarding performance. Any ideas on how to improve it would be much appreciated. The category picker was a try at improving things, but scrolling is still terrible and switching categories also takes seconds in some cases.

• Frequently used category (could @AppState be used for that?)
• design improvements, especially regarding the search bar
• Think about a separate "quick-reaction" view (see Signal, Slack or Riot iOS)
• Localizations
• Think about supporting custom emotes
• Any way of not having the sheet cover the entire screen?

I played around with the design a bit, this is what it now looks like. A lot like Slack.

I'm using SF Symbols for the category icons now, but there doesn't appear to be anything related to food at all, therefore the thermometer 🙄

Also this drops the dependency on Smile and uses the json file Smile uses to generate its data directly. That gives a bit more flexibility, but doesn't really improve the performance unfortunately.

I think for the sake of ergonomics we should stick with the categories used by iOS.

• People
• Nature
• Foods
• Activities
• Places
• Objects
• Symbols
• Flags

Otherwise the users will have to do all kind of mental acrobatics to figure where to look for their favorite emoji.

Yeah I wanted to as well and it would be much easier if there were any kind of APIs for working with emoji data. But I also really don't want to curate our own lists of Emoji, that'll be a nightmare to keep up to date on OS updates :/
