I've been waiting a long time to make this post. 😅

### Intro

Basically, what I've done on [inji.com](https://inji.com) is that I combined emojis with upvotes.

You can set a certain percentage to emojis, which when used as reaction on a post/comment, will also result in an upvote (if enabled).

This makes it (hopefully) super easy to i.e. reward comments on your posts.

### Problem

To showcase emojis across frontends though, we need to save this data within in hive and make it accessible via hivemind.

Right now, reactions/emojis can (and are) already written to Hive via Custom JSONS, but there isn't a way to get a list of reactions for a specific post.

For inji, I have to do it quick and dirty and save the votes on Hive posts/comments within the database. Would be much better and cleaner to receive reactions either as a separate Hivemind call or within the post-object.

### Possible Solution

```
{
    id: `reaction`, // example
    requiredPostingAuths: [user], // string - i.e. therealwolf
    json: {
      app, // string
      user, // string
      author, // string
      permlink, // string
      reaction, // string
      emoji, // string - i.e. ❤
      timestamp // date - ie. moment.utc().valueOf(),
    },
    requiredAuths: [],
  }
```

### Example

Transaction: https://hiveblocks.com/tx/709fcfdc9ab66b41af750e0f3ecbe0a0df76277b
```
{
	required_auths:	[],
	required_posting_auths: ['brianoflondon'],
	id: 'reaction',
	{
		"app":"inji/0.0.1-beta",
		"user":"brianoflondon",
		"author":"geekgirl",
		"permlink":"why-do-you-invest-in-hive",
		"reaction":"heart",
		"emoji":"❤",
		"timestamp":1633933468363
	}
}
```

---

I named the id `reaction`, but it could theoretically also be named `emoji` or something else.

Another question would be whether this should be integrated directly into Hivemind or a HAF specific project.

Looking forward to your feedback!
