  An advantage of running it in Bangle.js would be that you could choose to actually draw some of them, e.g. if a notification only consists of a smiley. (or use it as icon if it's the first/last character)
  On the other hand: there are tons of them, I guess phone-side you might be able to run a more complete translation?

  I don't think app submodules are a good idea, they would complicate things a lot without adding much (if any) benefit: Instead of just forking the BangleApps repo, you first need to learn about submodules, then fork/create the app repo. And then fork the BangleApps repo anyway to update the submodule. (Not to mention the complications if an app maintainer seems inactive/deletes their repo, or for global changes which affect multiple apps)

  CODEOWNERS looks interesting though, it could be a neat way for people to opt-in to receive notifications about certain apps, and you could ask issue submitters to look at that file for people to @mention. It seems a bit duplicate with the per-app readme/blame, but it also means people who for some reason don't want to be bothered anymore could just be removed from the CODEOWNERS file.

  Thanks!

  That looked pretty amazing, and it seemed like a shame to let all that hard work to to waste.
  So I went ahead and converted it into an actual app: https://github.com/espruino/BangleApps/p­ull/340

  The way you draw those images also made it really easy to use a smaller version for a widget :-)
