Text To Binary Convertor

Description

An extension that you can use to turn text into binary. The program takes each character’s UNICODE value and converts it into binary. It’s a very simple and neat program packed into an extension.

Inspiration

I often use online English to binary converters when talking to friends — as part of an inside joke. All the converters I’ve used have had three major issues.

1. Unintuitive Design: Some websites required you to manually press a button after writing the text — as opposed to converting as you typed. Others placed reset buttons within the text field itself, making it common to lose everything you wrote.

2. Lack Of Language Support: Another issue is that these converters only support English. They lack support for many non-Latin languages, which makes it unusable to most of the world. They also lack support for emojis.

3. Online Only: These converters need a constant internet connection, despite the software and ideas behind it being simple.

This extension aims to solve all these issues and to provide a quick and easy way of converting between regular text and binary for all your geeky needs.

Licensing

This extension uses the MIT license. It’s too simple and useless to bother putting any restrictions on. Do whatever you want.
