AI Analysis
●●●BangerBig BrainWizardry
Base32768 alphabet packs 15 bits per character for 0.19x URL compression.
Strengths
- •Base32768 uses CJK Unicode characters to achieve 2.5x density over base64.
- •Prefix table + dict-deflate compression stack is genuinely clever engineering.
- •Works entirely client-side with no server, database, or network calls.
Weaknesses
- •CJK characters may not render correctly in all systems or fonts.
- •3 UTF-8 bytes per character means wire size can exceed original URL.
