This package is NOT safe for use on the front end. The method being used to generate a unique id is VERY prone to collisions. This caused all kinds of weird flake in our system that took a significant amount of time to track down.

I would recommend using https://github.com/ai/nanoid/ instead (both for the front-end and the back-end)

@tnrich can you give some examples of what kind of collisions have occured? Do you have reproductions steps?
