twitter-words

This small project is a demostration on how to break the character constraint of twitter.

var dictionary = getDictionary();
var encoded = 'how now brown cow'.twitterEncode(dictionary)

console.info('encoded => ', encoded);
console.info('decoded => ', encoded.twitterDecode(dictionary));

Yields:

encoded => 怔蓼ᡃ⯳

decoded => how now brown cow
