Seems like a fun learning project, but in the real world it's very counterproductive. You can obtain the base64 representation of the current clipboard contents very quickly using a single terminal shell command.
- jlkuester7 5y agoWe must have very different definitions of "counterproductive". Sure, if you have mental space to remember the commands to generate the base64 via a terminal then more power to you. For the rest of us that would rather store a bookmark and/or might not always have access to a *nix environment for running shell commands this seems like a great solution. Either way it is far from "counterproductive".
- jacobmischka 5y agoThis is an incredibly weird reply. "Very counterproductive"? You hit ctrl+v and click a button using the app, that is roughly equally, if not more, convenient than switching to a terminal and entering a command.
