Why did I create this project<\/h3>\n

Everytime I needed to decode or encode something with base64 I looked up the first website on Google and was mad about all the ads and the non-intuitive interface of the website. This is why I choose to create a really simple base64 de\/encoder without any ads and with a clean interface.<\/p>\n

How did I implement the solution<\/h3>\n

\"2015-09-01<\/p>\n

For the base64 encoding I’ve used the jQuery\u00a0plugin\u00a0jquery-base64<\/a>. This may seem like a overkill and it probably is, but at the time I was looking for a short and sweet solution without having to implement the base64 encoding myself. The rest is just simply listening for click on the button and then using the plugin to en\/decode the values in the textareas and displaying them.<\/p>\n

What difficulties did I encounter<\/h3>\n

At the time I was still learning how to correctly use jQuery and had some problems registering the onclick callbacks for the buttons.<\/p>\n
