human-readable-ids-js
Use JavaScript to generate human-readable ids from a lists of nouns and adjectives.
Generate ids in the format of adjective-noun-# such as
- silly-goose-37
- quick-cobra-15
- tricky-chicken-23
- brave-ladybug-90
My problem is that I often want ids that I can type without having to look at it twice (nor telling someone else twice).
I should be able to shout one of these ids across the room to a co-worker or spouse and have them be able to enter it in without any confusion.
Currently the id space is aboutt 100 * 100 * 100. The goal is to have several billion possible combinations.
Install
