btoa.link

btoa.link is a simple way to share text snippets without having to save/share it to a server. Everything is encoded in the URL you share.

Currently supports encoding the text to:

• base64
• zlib (CompressionStream)
• brotli (currently via wasm/js; eventually CompressionStream)

Ideas

• Other compression algorithms?
• Code highlighting / markdown rendering?
• Other file types e.g. images / audio?

Requirements

• Node.js 20 or later

Installation

1. Clone this repository
2. Run npm install
3. Run npm run dev

Notes

Far from the first of its kind; haven't seen many that use good compression.

From brief testing of short notes in English / code (<16kb), Brotli seems to do the best out of the box due to included dictionary. Tested zstd, brotli, zlib, bbb, bsc-m03, and some other bwt-based JS implementation I forgot :(
