What is [Matrix] Sticker Helper?

I created this app for the pursuit of an user-friendly way of managing sticker packs on Matrix, that could also work well for other people, after finding the maunium/stickerpicker import procedure uncomfortable.
Read more (and follow the development I guess?) at octospacc.altervista.org/#MatrixStickerHelper.

How can I add sticker packs to my collection?

To add new sticker packs to your collection, you can use the dedicated section, which offers 2 options. You can:

• Either leave the optional text field blank to create a brand-new pack, to be filled with stickers by importing media files;
• Or, to import packs from one of a few different supported sources, input an URL. Supported URLs are:
  • Those pointing to the JSON data file (in the format used by maunium/stickerpicker) of an already existing collection (index.json) or individual pack (shared by other users, or backed-up by you), assuming the file is fetchable with CORS restrictions.
    The URL must begin with http:// or https://. For example, https://maunium.net/stickers-demo/packs/pusheen02.json.
  • URLs of Telegram sticker packs, either Static (PNG/WebP) or Animated (TGS). Video stickers (WebM) will be supported in the future. (For the technical details, see https://core.telegram.org/stickers.)
    The URL must be in the format "{optionally, http:// or https://}{t.me or telegram.me}/addstickers/{name of the pack}". For example, t.me/addstickers/FishPuffer.

Currently, you can import common picture files (JPEG, WebP, PNG, GIF) from your device's storage as stickers. Sooner, you will be able to also import media files from URL, as well as importing video files (like MP4) for automatic conversion into GIF.
Importing stickers and packs from Matrix messages, or the LINE store, is planned for the more distant future.

Stickerpicker information

This project is not a substitute of maunium/stickerpicker, is not affiliated with it, and doesn't use any part of its code, but rather complements it.
It sets that up as the sticker picker integration for your Matrix account if you don't have it already, and allows you to manage your sticker collection in a way that is fully compatible with it, but without the manual setup.
