Base64 is great and widely used. I just wanted to experiment with a numeric-only representation. NUMBASE encodes everything into a single large number, which can make certain compression schemes like Huffman more efficient and opens up new

It depends on the data. Base64 adds ~33% overhead, while NUMBASE can be encoded into one large number at once and compressed with Huffman or other algorithms. For some data types this results in fewer extra characters.

Thanks for the inspiration! I realize it’s probably crazy to think my algorithm could ever become universally needed, but I’m not giving up. Even if it doesn’t turn into something as large-scale as I once dreamed, I believe it can still lea

Thanks, you’re absolutely right — performance needs to be tested on large inputs with proper speed and memory profiling. I’ll run FSP on bigger datasets and compare it directly with zstd, brotli, gzip, etc. If needed, I’ll improve the algor

Good afternoon, I redesigned the compression algorithm, now it is much better.

Don't worry, I'm already starting work on improving it, your comment motivated me, so maybe in 1 day I'll make what you wanted possible.

Hi! Thanks for the feedback. To be honest, the current version of std_net won’t run directly on ESP32 or bare-metal — it relies on standard BSD sockets and a full OS environment. That said, it can serve as a basis: On ESP32, you could adapt
