The critical argument for base32 over base58 in my mind is being able to write the ids as filenames/folder names on macOS without conflicts (APFS is case-insensitive by default).
- CydeWeys 6y agoWow, how strange. I didn't realize MacOS did that. I don't actually use MacOS for anything development-related though (yay Linux), so it doesn't affect me. We're also not using these IDs in filenames, though I could see how one might want to do so.
- alwillis 6y agoYes, macOS is case-insensitive and case-preserving. The option to use the case-sensitive version of HFS+ and now APFS never really caught on.
