ebase - emoji coding (like base64 with emojis)

This project meant to be only for educational purposes, so under no circumstances should it be used for production purposes.
However, contributions are very much welcome. Perhaps we could reach a stable version.

Unlike other base64-like emoji libs on the internet, this one is not using external libs or emoji metadata.

Important
the encoding signature most probably WILL change!

Parts

The package contains a lib and a bin too.

The binary meant to be a drop-in "replacement" for base64.

Using the lib

todo

Using the bin

$ echo "hello" | ebase
# => 💈💅💌💌💏

$ echo "💈💅💌💌💏" | ebase -d
# => hello

$ cat .gitignore | ebase
# => 🎏📄💁📂💇💅📄🎏🐃💁📂💇💏🎎💌💏💃💋🎏🎎💉💄💅💁

Known bugs and limitations

• There is some collision error with one character emojis
• Line endings are not handled
• Binaries are a mess

Future plans

• Investigate to split bytes differently
• Investigate to use 2-byte emojis
• Compress output
