Odd design decision in that if you provide your own blocklist, it overwrites their (extensive) default list instead of adding to it. And in general the algorithm is surprisingly complicated for something that could be replaced with simply base64 encoding, the given example (1,2,3) base64 encodes to a string with just one more letter than this algorithm. That said I do appreciate the semicolon-free-style. I don't typically see that in libs besides my own. https://github.com/sqids/sqids-javascript/blob/main/src/sqid...

I like the idea, though I use nanoid with the safe letter dictionary (it excludes letters used for profanity[0]) They should use a similar dictionary approach IMO because I looked at the implementation and it’s hardcoded to look for “bad” words Otherwise looks real straightforward! I’d love to see some performance test suites for it [0]: https://github.com/sqids/sqids-javascript/blob/ebca95e114932... [1]: though with UUID v4 so common to generate and well optimized in most languages I wonder if these userland solutions are really better. You can always generate a UUID and re-encode with base32 or base64 with also is well optimized in most languages
