Text Mask Zero

A free and open-source webpage that masks a message under another message. Runs entirely on the front end and is built with Brython!

Where Am I? 

Welcome! This is the GitHub repo for Text Mask Zero, a website that allows you to "encode" and hide any ascii text under some other text by using zero-width characters.

Why Text Mask Zero? 

You probably have some messages that you want to send to your friend and don't want other people to see, even if they have a hand on your friend's phone or somehow hack into and see their messages.  Zero-width characters are interesting! They cannot be seen normally but are still UTF-8 characters. This means that they can be sent through most text messaging apps. Given that both you and your friend know the tool, you can probably use it to send a "secret" message to each other. The masking text might be anything casual and unimportant, but the actual message that lies beneath can be anything!

Is It Safe? 

Yes! Since all of the processes are done on the client side, no data is ever sent to either any server or other parties. (That's the magic of Brython. It allows Python code to run on a webpage without a server.)

Sounds Great! How do I Use It?
