Decentralized, k-ordered unique IDs in Clojure

In plain words

Flake is a Clojure library that generates decentralized, k-ordered unique IDs. It enables developers to create distributed identifier systems without central coordination. The tool is designed for Clojure developers who need scalable ID generation across multiple systems. Flake's key feature is its k-ordering property, which maintains sortable IDs in a decentralized environment where multiple nodes can generate identifiers independently.

  Talanoa▲341

  Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
