Academically, kudos! This seems cool and a nice idea but...
Speaking practically this strikes me as one of "this shouldn't be an online tool" things.
It sends the source code to the server and presumably if you are obfuscating your code you want it to be kept secret. So, I'm not saying this site would do this, but sounds like a great way to harvest code people think is sensitive.
I agree completely. I'm warmly impressed that this is getting attention on HN. To give a bit more context: I wrote this obfuscator for my BSc dissertation and created a web version to better show it off and allow my supervisor to more easily play around with it.
I have now graduated and so I'm wondering what I should do with this project. Two options: open source it or try to sell it. Mainly I'm wondering whether there is actually a big enough market for something like this, I thought HN might help me answer that question so I submitted it :)
