It seems that since 3 days ago the CND of twemoji is failing. According to the stack trace of the issue:

AxiosError: getaddrinfo ENOTFOUND twemoji.maxcdn.com
    at Function.AxiosError.from (file:///metrics/node_modules/axios/lib/core/AxiosError.js:89:14)

Also by accessing (or trying) https://twemoji.maxcdn.com/

twemoji guys seem to be discussing a workaround in this GitHub thread, which basically consists of a user-land approach:

twemoji.parse(
  document.body,
  { base: 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/twitter/[email protected]/assets/' }
)
```</div>

Hi !

Thanks a lot for reporting this issue !

Seems like the user-land approach is a temporary measure, but it'd be better to wait for a new release since it seems they already patched the code for it.

Actually it seems they made a fork of it from what I've read in twitter/twemoji#580 (comment) (don't know the details but the original maintainers seems to have been either laid off or quitted the company 😅 ) so the resolution for this issue might just to switch the dependency to this new fork

[fbuireu]

Indeed! More workarounds appeared in the meantime.

Are you planning to switch dependencies to bypass the breaking action anytime soon?

Thanks for your work 😄

[lowlighter]

Yes I'll switch to the maintained fork and it should be fixed in next release 👍 !
