About Kurolabs Stegcloak
From the project's README at github.com/kurolabs/stegcloak. Lightly cleaned for readability; for the full source see the upstream repo.
StegCloak is a pure JavaScript steganography module designed in functional programming style, to hide secrets inside text by compressing and encrypting the secret before cloaking it with special unicode invisible characters. It can be used to safely watermark strings, invisible scripts on webpages, texts on social media or for any other covert communication. Completely invisible! See how it works in-depth in this Medium article or watch our demo to know what it does.
