I'd love to see a more generalized emoji reaction that let us use whatever emoji's we wanted from an emoji picker, removing the artificial limitations. |

Mostly, I think they just want to make sure users (and the screen) aren't overloaded with potential reaction options. |

It would be nice to have an additional tick symbol ✅ emoji at least. |

Would really love a 🤔 reaction so I can tell people that I've seen something and am thinking about it, but not necessarily agreeing with it (👍), or just looking at it (👀) which could also imply other things... 👀 |

I'm surprised that this hasn't been mentioned, but I really feel the lack of a plus ➕ emoji here, where I see a comment from someone else on a PR and would like to emphasize that I agree with the point made. Feels like it is a basic one really. |

I completely agree with this suggestion! The current emoji reactions are great for quick feedback, but having the ability to add custom emoji reactions would significantly enhance the expressiveness of our interactions on GitHub. A customizable file in the root .github folder to specify additional emoji sounds like a fantastic idea. It would allow teams to tailor reactions to their unique workflows and preferences. Alternatively, a button that opens a picker for all available emoji via the 😄 syntax would be a flexible and user-friendly solution. This would provide a wider range of expressive options without requiring configuration. This enhancement would definitely improve the user experience on GitHub. Looking forward to seeing this feature considered! |
