## What Jamie wrote

I've never thought much about how the random codes associated with YouTube videos work. This library makes it easy to create unique tokens, sqids, from integers.

> Link shortening, generating unique event IDs for logging, generating IDs for products/objects on a website (like YouTube does for videos), generating short IDs for text messages, confirmation codes in emails, etc.

Could be handy.
