I just shipped Shortcat v0.12.0, which I'm dubbing the Emoji Update. Unicode 16.0 emojis, and now includes all the variations (skin tone, genders, etc), including making more metadata about the emoji searchable (categories and subcategories).

Last Shortcat update was Jan 2023 >_>

Getting the toolchains up to date was a challenge as big build changes in Xcode as well as the JS tooling.
