# 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

## 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.
