boubakikid

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

Install

npm install boubakikid

Usage

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"

30 characters → ~4.9 bits per character. No uppercase, no angular consonants.
