I happen to need a base85 codec, so I wrote one. 
Does anybody object to adding it to node-red-nodes, alongside the base64 node?
My code is here.
Not sure this is a good idea to be honest. It ties another node to that single package and there are, in my personal opinion, already too many nodes in there.
It would be, again in my personal view, better to publish it in its own package.
Hi @MatthiasU
As a general policy, we aren't adding more nodes to the node-red-nodes repo - as each one becomes a maintenance burden for the core project. You are welcome to self publish it as per the packaging guide: Packaging : Node-RED
