   Yes! I’ve replaced so many HOCs... hooks are so much cleaner.

   We don't use hooks for doing writes / updates... I'm curious if there's a clever way to do that. Maybe the useDbData hook could also return a write callback?

   I haven't - but that's a good idea! Might have to do another post...

   It's a bit inconvenient sometimes, but it can be done well. https://firebase.google.com/docs/database/web/structure-data

   Maybe I should just make the mapping customizable, so that if one wants the "neutral" emotion to translate to "serious", they can do that.

    Thanks! Appreciate you giving it a look.

    Thanks! Right now, it's just a hover that shows what they're playing. But would be cool to sync you up with them on click.

    That's a cool idea!

    The facial recognition just detects position and emotion, not other visual information (eg hair style). You plug that in yourself in an avatar editor. Could be interesting to play with!

    Yeah... I mostly just went off feel. Since most of the time people working are "neutral", and the "neutral" looks pretty serious / not super happy, it just made a bad vibe for the team for everyone to be looking mop

    Thanks! I'm working on making it more real-time... would love to satisfy that use case even better.

    I've actually had a couple people say that they used it that way - only on calls, and then switch back to keyboard/mouse detection after call is over.

    They are a lot of the time in practice. For us, the movement with a little facial recognition change is just a piece of the puzzle. We also added (optional) integrations like Spotify and Slack and are working on more to give other signals.

    Thanks! I'm still exploring for sure - but there are benefits to some of the limits. I'd love a more realtime mode for when people are actually in a conversation in our product, but haven't gotten that working perfectly yet.

    Thanks for the comment. I'm not sure it's for everyone. I also made an option for the avatar without the facial recognition, so it just grays out if your keyboard/mouse doesn't fire for 15s.
