I've never seen a UUID in base-64 instead of hex...

  Hex is also case insensitive. Was trying to answer why case insensitive might be an advantage.

    Sure. I just don't even understand why it's a point in a discussion about UUID (hex) vs ULID (base-32), since both are case-insensitive... Which I think is why TeeWEE was stating that it's not really an advantage for ULID.

      My guess is that the README was mostly copied from here: https://github.com/alizain/ulid https://github.com/alizain/ulid Which has a similar list, but presents them as features/facts, not advantages. Edit: Perhaps it was noted to specifically call out that it maintains case insensitivity, even though it's choosing a more dense approach than just hex.
