Emoji as an alternative to images?

[winzig]

Is there any interest from anyone else to be able to use emoji instead of images? E.g. instead of specifying an "imageName" in the design .json file, you'd specify something like:

"warning": {
    "backgroundImageName": "NotificationBackgroundWarning.png",
    "borderColor": "#A28918",
    "borderHeight": 1,
    "buttonBackgroundImageName": "NotificationButtonBackground.png",
    "buttonTitleTextColor": "#484638",
    "buttonTitleShadowColor": "#E5D87C",
    "buttonTitleShadowOffsetX": 0,
    "buttonTitleShadowOffsetY": 1,
    "contentFontSize": 12,
    "contentTextColor": "#484638",
    "emoji": "⛔️",
    "emojiFontSize": 16,
    "shadowColor": "#E5D87C",
    "shadowOffsetX": 0,
    "shadowOffsetY": 1,
    "textColor": "#484638",
    "titleFontSize": 14,
    "backgroundColor": "#DAC43C"
}

Perhaps even a way to override the emoji used when actually creating the message?

TSMessage.showNotificationInViewController(self, title: "Thanks for the feedback!", subtitle: nil, type: .Success, emoji: "👍", emojiFontSize: 20)

I like the idea, but TSMessages is not in active development unfortunately. Also, the method headers are a big pain, as there are so many parameters already. This would all be awesome in Swift :+1:

OK, were you thinking of creating a successor to TSMessages yourself in Swift, or is there another library you recommend people move to for similar functionality?

Sorry, I wanted to do that, but never found the time to. I don't know about good alternatives out of the top of my head.
