Looked at the repo but it says NOTHING about what value this project offers. I mean, I get that it's "fun" to store information within the digits of pi. But is this just amusement, or is there a value prop for production use here? (Speaking as a math major, by the way. I'm sympathetic to the cause.) | ||

It's a(n IMO weak) argument raised when discussing illegal files/numbers. This project makes clear the counter-argument: the input that gets you the file out of π is a badly compressed version of the file. | ||

I think it's pretty clearly for amusement. And it would kind of spoil the amusement if it were to explicitly mention that it's a joke... | ||
