I see many people in this thread saying that this is a good way to hide insights from ids/numbers, I don't understand, aren't the generated values easily decoded? couldn't I just decode a couple of numbers to get that insight? What am I missing.
- jonasdoesthings 3y agoThe docs state: Not Good For: [...] User IDs Can be decoded, revealing user count So yeah, just using a sequential id and encoding the number with this library is not a viable idea if you want to hide your insights.
- hot_gril 3y agoI noticed this too, and imo it's a design flaw that people get misled this way. Sequential inputs should yield sequential outputs, otherwise you might think it's meant to be unpredictable like SHA256.
