We need a better, open emoji pack for the open web. One where a bunch of companies fund it, we choose a design direction, and then a roadmap to keep iterating.

If you're interested, please DM me. I think it wouldn't need much money to rival Apple.
Twemoji is a good step in the right direction but it's still not as gorgeous as Apple's emojis after hearing a lot of user feedback.
Plan: Raise $50K-100K. Find 4-5 stellar designers. Have each make 15 emoji's in various styles. Pick 1-2 designers that will conform to a winning style for the remaining emojis. Release them. Make a distributed font.

Mighty will fund $15-25K
The Beautiful Open Emoji Project

I will add funders here: docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d…

You can make a wishlist item for the designers to take into account

DM me an amount

In 6 mo, Mighty will have a world-class design team to complement its great engineering team as we leave beta. Design will be critical as we make a great browser for work.

$25K award if you refer someone we hire. DM me if you know someone great.
I am looking for two people to form a team that includes me.
Looking for folks with a prior track record of making great products with a team.

1/ Today we're unveiling Mighty: a faster browser that is entirely streamed from a powerful computer in the cloud.

Demo in the next tweet 👇

New website: mightyapp.com
2/ A quick little demo showing @MightyApp in action: indistinguishable from Google Chrome running at 4K, 60 frames a second, while taking no more than 500 MB of RAM.
3/ Here's my piece outlining Mighty's master plan to reignite the future of desktop computing: blog.mightyapp.com/mightys-secret…

It's time to build a new kind of computer.

1/ The first 18 months of a startup:

After starting my 2nd company in 2019, I decided I would write down useful lessons I learned or re-learned along the way. Some were hard-earned & others required steady focus. A thread that I hope may help other founders starting out 👇
2/ Clarifying your plans: the first thing I did was write down a 7-page Elon Musk-style master plan. Write down what problem you plan to solve, how you'll solve it, and why it's important. Then have your smart friends critique it. Let no valid question go unanswered.
3/ End every conversation with an expert about your industry with: "Why do you think I am going to fail?" to lean into brutally understanding what you need to de-risk.

It’s Q2, email those investor updates—good or bad. It’s not for them, it’s for you.

Start building discipline early.
If you don’t have investors, write to a mentor.
If you don’t have a mentor, write to your optimistic, smart friends.

Introducing our first @MightyApp hacking bounty:
- Support Twitter Emoji's in Chromium on Ubuntu
- $5,000 to the first person who submits a working patch + video proof
- Make this library work but with Chromium: github.com/eosrei/twemoji…
- Test: Go to notion, use emoji for a page
Happy to answer and clarify this bounty through the comments of this thread.

The spirit of this bounty is to have nice emoji's on Linux Chromium browsers since they're quite ugly otherwise.

The patch can be made opensource—we don't view this as core IP.
I will happily have a 60 min call with whoever wins first and second place helping you either with your startup or just to make your acquaintance.

Second place prize: $1,000 + video hangout.
