Sqids – Generate Short Unique IDs from Numbers
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.

> it excludes letters used for profanity
That doesn't seem possible. How would that work?
> I looked at the implementation and it’s hardcoded to look for “bad” words.
If you mean https://github.com/y-gagar1n/nanoid-good, that seems to be doing the same thing.
In general, I'm a bit weary of solutions that "guarantee no bad words" – this is usually highly language-specific: One language's perfectly acceptable name is another language's swear word.
What are some alternatives?
