What I'm saying is that ULID is irrelevant and unnecessary, if you want "double clicked to select, and case-insensitive" you just encode your UUIDs in base32. They're still UUIDs.


Nah ULID guarantees some extra stuff as part of its spec beyond UUIDv7, including true sub-millisecond monotonicity and a ceiling of 7ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. You can convert to base32 to get some of the benefits but they're not exactly the same.
