Pikaid (pronounced “Pika ID”) is a 26-character, lowercase Base36 identifier designed to be:
-Small: same length as ULID (26 chars) but more entropy-packed.
-Sortable: lexicographically ordered by creation timestamp without extra fields.
-Secure: 96 bits of cryptographic randomness to make collisions practically impossible.
Use pikaid when you need a modern alternative to UUID or ULID that is equally compact, more entropy-rich, and uses a standard, familiar alphabet.
