Honestly this isn't ground breaking, we have been using BASE64 to convert binary to ASCII as a way of "sharing" files all the way to USENET days. While applications like these make it easy for the masses to participate in the idea, they don't bring anything new to the table.

That all said, this is really cool from a design perspective and I poured over the code learned a lot.
