Emojitracker is a complex project with a service-oriented architecture, and thus

has now been split up into multiple repositories.  This repository mainly just

serves as table of contents of sorts. Major components of the project are listed

below.

> **Note**

> Since 2021, Emojitracker was [acquired by Emojipedia](https://blog.emojipedia.org/emojipedia-emojitracker/), and is now maintained by them. You can find all of the repositories in the [Emojitracker GitHub organization](https://github.com/emojitracker).

## Architecture
