# Tripod ID Distributable user-friendly id. ## Examples - `123` : shortest version - `456-789` : default size, still user freindly and sufficient randomness (for personal data) - `abc-def-ghj` : long version. alphabets except i, l and o are also valid  ## Specs ### Characters ## Perpose When I considering implementing IDs for users(not for internal system) to specify items, such as GitHub commit hashes or issue numbers, the following issues arose. - Sequential numbers like Git issues are difficult to implement in distributes systems because collitions are unavoidable. - Random number like UUID is too long for users - Short random number like 7-digit commit hash seems good but is is not standardized specification. So I decided to make my own ID specifications.
