Introji

Introji: a crowdsourced emoji app for introverts

The idea for Introji comes from a personal place. As an introvert, I've felt the lack of a way to express a need for aloneness - or conversely, a need for quiet company - in a way that won't be misunderstood. With introverted friends, I've often wanted to express that I understand their need for space, while letting them know that I'd be there when they needed me. So I created Introji: an emoji set that aims to make communication a little easier and expand the range of states and emotions we can express with emoji. And now, with your help, I'm hoping to make it into a real messaging app. I've tried to make these pictographs clear, expressive, and fun to use. I've listened to feedback from Facebook users and made my original designs more diverse and relatable - with lots more to come! There will be 40 in total: the best of the original set, plus many new ones based on crowdsourced suggestions.
