Hi guys, I want to know if it is possible to generate a signed global_id string, for example like this "BAhJIh5naWQ6Ly9pZGluYWlkaS9Vc2VyLzM5NTk5BjoGRVQ=--81d7358dd5ee2ca33189bb404592df5e8d11420e" and then shorten it, and then return it to its original state. I need to track a record by an "ID" and I was thinking signed global_id is great but it's too long I'm thinking something no longer than 20 characters, the other option I thought of is a UUID, and then encode it to some base like 32 or 58 maybe?, but it misses the awesomeness of the global id. What advice do you recommend to obtain a short string that allows me to share it and track a record? https://github.com/rails/globalid
