+# ULID
+
+```sh
+go get git.wisellama.rocks/Wisellama/ulid@v0.0.1
+```
+
+ULIDs are universally unique lexico-graphically sortable
+identifiers. They fit in the same 128-bits as a UUID, except that
+instead of being pure random or using some hardware information, they
+tag on a timestamp on the front. This makes them random but sortable
+which is useful when using them for database IDs. Databases can
+pre-load chunks of IDs that it assumes will be used. Fully random IDs
+would break this caching functionality, but sortable random IDs will
+keep the performance benefits.
+
+This is Wisellama's implementation of a ULID library following the spec:
+https://git.wisellama.rocks/Mirrors/ulid-spec
+
+I was inspired by oklog's ULID library, and I used it to verify my
+implementation was working correctly. I use this library in production
+at work, so I highly recommend it.
+https://github.com/oklog/ulid
+
+I did not implement the full spec, and I'm sure I'm missing features
+that are available in the oklog repo. However, I wanted to implement
+ULIDs myself to support the features I use regularly. I don't like
+adding unnecessary dependencies, so if there's something easy enough
+that I can implement myself, I will most likely attempt to do so.
+
+See the examples directory for usage.
