Check OpenHeart count for this page

The Open Heart protocol lets an anonymous user sends an emoji reaction to a URL.

How

Set up an endpoint to receive an Open Heart POST request like this one:

curl -d '🥨' -X POST '<https://api.oh.dddddddddzzzz.org/github.com/dddddddddzzzz/OpenHeart>'

A Open Heart message should contain of a single emoji sequence. However, the emoji sequence may be followed by arbitrary data which the server is expected to ignore.

This allows HTML <form>s to post reactions using the Open Heart protocol through an empty input. In this case, the payload will be 🥨=.

Optionally, a GET request to the same URL may respond with the emoji reaction counts.

curl '<https://api.oh.dddddddddzzzz.org/github.com/dddddddddzzzz/OpenHeart>'

The response should be a JSON object mapping Emoji (as Strings) to their count (as Numbers):

{"❤️": 14,"🫀": 12,"🥨": 22}

If reaction counts are write-only, the server should respond with a 403 or a 404.
