snowid VS brain

This looks really interesting! I recently wrote[1] a pure C (no external dependency) version of coordination free, k-ordered 128-bit UUID Generator library which is inspired by snowflake but has bigger key space and few nifty features to protect against clock skew etc. The 128 bits are split into {timestamp:64, worker_id:48, seq: 16} where the seq if id is requested within the same millisecond.

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.
