Oh nice, I did something similar recently (https://github.com/divyenduz/zoid-zip), mine is much lighter/smaller than yours. Instead of following a standard fully, I just use Huffman coding to make stuff smaller!

I do! but I also keep odd hours, which kind of fits the job. Or maybe the job did it to me
