Please also mention tuid uses Math.random in the JS implementation, making it less secure than the original UUID implementation (that uses the crypto module).

Lol, never saw that there is a JS implementation there. It usually needed for generation of Primary Keys in databases (mostly PG). Using it allows substituting Serial with less predictable values, without dropping performance. And usually it's compiled as C extension in PG.
But how @kurtextrem mentioned there is some JS implementation available. It's a good point that using JS for cryptography is a bad idea, and you should not rely on naive JS implementations because of security and performance issues. Better use official https://nodejs.org/api/crypto.html or something like https://www.npmjs.com/package/argon2, which uses bindings to C code under the hood.

Thanks a TON @nosovk and @kurtextrem - i am surprised anyone is paying attention to this repo but this is why i open sourced my list!

i took the advantage to rearrange my list a little bit - have a look at my latest commit

do you have anything else to add? i'd love your input. really appreciate the add.

I found your HackerNews thread interesting and the comments there, e.g. this one regarding verification of UUIDs. Maybe worth adding as 'ideas'?
Also, an interesting thread with opinions about the UUIDs randomness maybe even being an advantage: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31721983. Curious about benchmarks now.

Also, I got another set of tools that generate UUID similar things, which I'd personally mention (at least the first two)

• A maintained ulid generator in Node https://www.npmjs.com/package/ulidx
• Faster nanoid generator https://github.com/rustq/napi-nanoid
• Yet another random ID generator https://www.npmjs.com/package/hyperid

The updates look good! 👍🏻
