But before we tell you what you’ll get from this package, here’s a little refresher ⬇️

What are Emoji Credibility Indicators on HackerNoon Stories?

Emoji Credibility Indicators provide essential context to the content within every HackerNoon story. Below the author’s profile on the story page, the “Credibility” section appears with a corresponding custom emoji and tooltip to indicate relevant information about the story to the reader.

In the example above, you can see that David’s story contains two emoji credibility indicators: HODL, which indicates mentions of one or more cryptos that the author holds, and Associated Companies, which is used when the writer has or had any sort of business relationship with companies mentioned in the story.

Types of Emoji Credibility Indicators

We have around 20 emoji credibility indicators for Context and Disclaimers, and Content Types, each with an attributed meaning and instructions on how to use them. So if you have a technological project, and want amazing pixelated emojis to represent/communicate credibility, this repo is for you!

Why Adding Context to Content Matters to the Future of Digital Text

When lost in a good read, it may feel like there are only words, but the reality is, no text exists in a vacuum. All text has a setting. Too often on social media and the current internet, what surrounds the text is vanity metrics designed to keep you in the newsfeed, designed to re-affirm that what you’re doing is liked/upvoted/not-a-waste-of-time, instead of being designed to provide you with structured indications that define the context of the story.
