Pleasant, round ID generator based on bouba/kiki effect research.
Uses a custom 30-character alphabet that excludes angular/spiky letterforms (k, v, w, x, z), producing IDs that look and feel softer:
a4b8c2d6e0f1g ← boubakikid
kXvW9zK4xZmR1 ← standard nanoid
npm install boubakikid
import { id, shortId, tinyId, createId } from "boubakikid";
id(); // "a4b8c2d6e0f1g" (13 chars, ~64 bits)
shortId(); // "a4b8c2d6e" (9 chars, ~44 bits)
tinyId(); // "a4b8c2d" (7 chars, ~34 bits)
// Custom length
const sessionId = createId(21);
sessionId(); // "a4b8c2d6e0f1g3h5i7j9l"
0123456789abcdefghijlmnopqrstuy
30 characters → ~4.9 bits per character. No uppercase, no angular consonants.
