3 | | -Emoji Copy Extension simply adds a box under any [Emojipedia.org](https://emojipedia.org/) search results in Google in which the user can see and copy the respective emoji. I thought of this idea after finding it frustrating to copy an emoji when I search it up because of Google's formatting or go on another stupid website just to be able to copy without formatting easily. Don't ask why I don't just hit `Win+.` on Windows to find an emoji I want to use, I am used to searching it up. :) |

81 | 83 | ### Problems I ran into |
82 | 84 |
|
83 | | -- Uploading 1200x800 screenshot instead of 1280x800 screenshots - Chrome Web Store is fussy on the exact dimensions of all of the promotional images, and one must resize/crop them themselves |
| 85 | +- I had many code errors which were are too minor to remember now, but can never be avoided when developing something new; make sure to use `console.log()` when debugging to see where your code gets stuck! |

84 | 87 | - As soon as I published it, I recieved 4 emails from Indians offering me their services to "boost my extension's visibility" - I ignored these now that I know they will never be for free, and I don't have enough money to want to use it on this: <img src="./assets/Spam.png"> |
