Hi HN,

  I built this Morse code translator as a side project to explore Next.js 15's
   new features (App Router + Turbopack) and because I was curious about
  communication encoding methods.

  **What it does:**
  - Bidirectional text ↔ Morse code conversion in real-time
  - Audio playback with authentic dit/dah timing (can download as WAV)
  - Additional tools: binary-to-Morse, hex converter, image decoder
  - Educational blog posts about Morse history, learning techniques, and STEM
  projects

  **Tech stack:**
  - Next.js 15 with Turbopack
  - React 19 (Server Components)
  - Tailwind CSS 4 (pre-release)
  - Pure client-side processing (no data sent to servers)

  **Why Morse code?**
  I found it fascinating that Morse code pioneered variable-length encoding –
  frequently used letters get shorter codes (e.g., E = ".", T = "-"), which
  later inspired Huffman coding. Despite being 180+ years old, it's still used
   in amateur radio and emergency communications.

  **Some technical challenges:**
  - Web Audio API behavior varies across browsers; had to fine-tune timing
  parameters
  - Turbopack is fast but still has occasional HMR hiccups
  - Balancing educational content with tool functionality

  **Looking for feedback on:**
  - Feature gaps or unnecessary complexity
  - Performance on different devices
  - Better approaches to audio generation
  - Content ideas for the educational section

  The entire translation happens in your browser using JavaScript, so your
  messages stay private.

  Happy to answer questions about the implementation or Morse code itself!
