Hey everyone,

I’ve been working on a small project where I built a Morse code translator that can both encode text into Morse code and decode it back into readable text.

Currently, the logic is handled on the frontend using JavaScript with a simple character-to-Morse mapping. It works fine for basic use cases, but I’m curious about scalability and best practices.

For example:

• Should I keep everything on the frontend for simplicity?

• Or would it make more sense to move this logic to a backend (Node.js or API-based approach)?

• Are there any libraries or optimized methods for handling encoding/decoding more efficiently?

Also, I’m thinking about adding features like audio playback (dot/dash sounds) and real-time translation.

I’d love to hear how others would approach building or improving a tool like this. Any suggestions, best practices, or resources would be really helpful.

Thanks in advance!
