1 Million Emojis — Chris Wijnia

A shared 1,000 by 1,000 emoji canvas where visitors paint and Jev paints alongside them: after each stroke it reads what is around it by name, weighs emoji that belong with it, and paints one or finishes a shape it is sure you meant.

Highlights

  • A thousand by a thousand cells, open to everyone; other visitors' strokes arrive live as they land.
  • Each visitor gets 300 cells of ink, with five coming back every second; pick an emoji and drag to paint.
  • Jev joins after each stroke: it reads what is around it by name and weighs emoji that belong with it before painting one.
  • When it is sure a shape was meant, Jev finishes it; the canvas's rules and Jev's painter are open source in cwdx/1-million-emojis (MIT).

Watch out

Grounded on the live page text captured on 2026-10-15; the capture is mostly interface text (coordinates, ink counters, activity labels), so this entry sticks to what the page states. The canvas's code lives in a GitHub repository that is a mirror of the site's monorepo and has its own catalog entry; this entry covers the live canvas.
