Looked at the repo but it says NOTHING about what value this project offers.

I mean, I get that it's "fun" to store information within the digits of pi. But is this just amusement, or is there a value prop for production use here?

(Speaking as a math major, by the way. I'm sympathetic to the cause.)

It's a(n IMO weak) argument raised when discussing illegal files/numbers.

This project makes clear the counter-argument: the input that gets you the file out of π is a badly compressed version of the file.

I think it's pretty clearly for amusement. And it would kind of spoil the amusement if it were to explicitly mention that it's a joke...

It's a joke.
