Comment on Is there a self-hosted project that does base64 url decoding in a privacy respecting fashion?

  Fun fact: Base64url is not quite the same as base64. Its alphabet is slightly different from base64 so its characters can be used in more places (URLs, filenames, etc.).

  I suppose the tool’s name is more clear for those who are aware of those differences, but very unclear for others.

    RAHHHHH this is embarrassing. You’re totally right. I’m wrong.
