Ask HN: Is Google Hangouts circling the drain?
Hangouts and Gmail have been helping the billions communicate easily.
One thing I discovered when I started using chat in Gmail was it's missing the stickers from hangouts. A lot of people probably think those stickers are no good. Maybe the design seems dated or not so trendy. But I think they're awesome and I got used to using them. I really hope the makers of chat in Gmail and hangouts will bring the full set of classic stickers from hangouts to Google chat
They were so adorable
I want to go back to hangouts just for the stickers... They became part of my emotional communication language in significant relationships.... Without them in chat...I feel I can't express what I want to show. Emojis aren't right for everything. Those hangout stickers really hit quite a number of spots to express.
I hope that Google will please please please bring them to chat.

I know Hangouts is transitioning but I'm kind of worried when it's going to shut down or what will not be present in the new one. Sad
