Yet another simple string compressor

npm i minie / yarn add minie

Minie's name comes from the name of our rescued cat (she came with her name).

What is minie?

• Two methods: compress & decompress.
• You pass in a string, you get a shorter string.

Gotchas

• The method compress is not a pure function. Compressing several times the same input won't return the same output.
• The method decompress is a pure function. Decompressing several times the same input will return the same output.
