rust-ksuid VS brain

We maintain a couple of popular ksuid libraries[1][2] and use it, so we definitely like ksuid. Though one big issue with ksuid is that being 160bit means that it doesn't fit into native uuid types in databases (e.g. postgres), which means that they come with a performance penalty.

I wasn't going to post it here because it feels a bit small for a show HN, but then I figured: why not. :)

It's a pure Rust implementation of Segement's KSUID, and I created this library while working on Svix[0].

I haven't written any Rust for a while, so even though I have written quite a bit of Rust code in the past (see Etebase[1]), I'm a bit rusty (no pun intended).

Anyhow, I just wanted to share, and I'm hoping to get some feedback if you have any. :)

P.S, the package is tested for compatibility against the reference Go implementation.

for those researching this topic, I keep a list of these UUID/GUID implementations!

here are my notes as someone who studied this stuff extensively for my book launch (just crossed $200k revenue) https://github.com/sw-yx/brain/blob/906dbc6fd6d22fa69968ebc6...

in generally for OP's stuff i would disagree on launching on product hunt first. PH is a giant pyramid scheme where people just compete for the #1 badge each day. what the most successful products do is launch everywhere else first, and then after a few months email their happy customers to support them on PH. this is why you are #20 because you didnt study the game

I've been collecting all my notes on UUIDs here https://github.com/sw-yx/brain/blob/master/R%20-%20Dev%20Not... in case it is helpful to anyone

(poster here)

these formats are not new new, but are still pretty new.

the context is i keep a list of uuid impls and knowledge for my own reference. posted this up today simply because I got a PR from some subscribers https://github.com/sw-yx/brain/pull/36

Putting together this massive effort involved pulling in notes from 18 months of covering Concurrent React by myself, in particular studying prior art from Rodrigo Pombo in cloning the API from scratch. You can check out his talk here to contrast what he did vs me.
