A neat improvement would be to make the decoder into a bookmarklet. This would avoid the overhead of serving the script. Of course you would rely on the user having the bookmarklet installed, but when you serve HTML you also rely on the user having a web browser installed.

It's not so simple. The developers are not necessarily available for this kind of support. For example, I maintain an FOSS library, but I already have a full time job, and I'm not interested in working more hours. Unless someone hires me to work full time on this library, there is no chance that I provide paid support. I suspect that many other maintainers are in the same situation.

I do. I really enjoy an expresso after lunch, and sometimes one in the morning when I arrive at the office, but it's really for pleasure and not addiction. If I don't have access to good coffee, e.g. when I work from home, I don't drink coffee at all.

I gave up ordering online because where I live they deliver the goods in disposable shopping bags. They even use more bags than I would because they separate the products by type. But I'm glad to see that in other places they seem to be smarter about it.

I don't know why some people want vegetarian food to taste like meat. I enjoy eating meat, but the best vegetarian foods that I had did not taste like meat at all, and it is how it should be. It's like with sugar, if I want to avoid consuming it, I don't replace it with sweetener, I just don't put the sugar in and enjoy the untainted taste of the other ingredients.
