Launch HN: Stipop (YC S21) – Improving user engagement with stickers

Hi HN, I'm Tony, and together with my friend Daniel, we created Stipop ( https://developers.stipop.io ). We help app developers add stickers on chat, comment section, profiles, and live streams by providing an easy-to-install SDK with 150K+ stickers and a fully customizable UI. Stickers are the big, animated emojis you can send in chat. This may sound silly and of course, it is, but a lot of people love them. They are sent 17x more than GIFs on Facebook Messenger—that's almost 400M times a day! Users, especially Gen Z and Millennials, love sending stickers to express themselves better and stay more connected online. But the thing is, having stickers in your app can cost up to a million dollars because you’ll need a good 4~5 engineers to build the infrastructure, UI, search engine and have a content team to sign contracts with hundreds of sticker artists, send payouts
