Also for turtles. This might be the originator of the format? It's the first I was aware of, anyway.

I think you’re right that the turtle one is the first (or at least one of the first) but there are lots of emoji reviews - see https://www.reddit.com/r/EmojiReview/#sort=top;t=all or https://www.tumblr.com/emojiratingcollection. Most of them rate emojis only aesthetically. I wanted to only cover reviews that included details about how realistic the emojis in its category are.

This is an incredible collection. Thank you so much for keeping it

I still want to write some software to support community-curated lists of related links. It would include whatever I'm currently posting as "related"* plus fabulous contributions like cloudier's above.

* https://hn.algolia.com/?dateRange=all&page=0&prefix=true&que...

You often find these on github as "awesome-[something]" and accepting contributions as PRs.

This is also a dream of mine and I have many thoughts around this. I have a lot of little collections like this list and have always wanted a way to open this up to community contributions

I also don't think "awesome lists" are a sufficient solution for a number of reasons. Like this list is a perfect example of something that would (1) definitely get ignored on GitHub, (2) not reach the most likely target audiences, (3) not be easy to contribute to for basically anyone who doesn't know what a "git" is (so, the majority of people on earth)

If you (or anyone!) have any concrete ideas to offer about how list of related links could best be incorporated into HN's UI, I'd like to hear them!

We'd be looking to make the minimum possible change while adding such a feature. The goal is a "splash free dive" as sctb used to say. Most ways that I've thought of doing it (so far) involve too much splash.

The butterfly one reminded me of how much I liked reading the now elusive and Pagerank murdered non techie blogs that would pop up a few results under Wikipedia in biology/physics related queries.

The additional commentary is nice. Sites like https://emojipedia.org et al. include many vendored representations of emojis.
