Why humid?

• Improved Usability and Readability:: Human-readable IDs are easier to remember, recognize, and type compared to traditional IDs (like UUIDs or hashes). For example, instead of dealing with an ID like 4f52a6c7-e938-4d5e-9ad6-d89d62c7a90b, a human-readable ID such as archaic-goose-y8yMIYjt91V8cejIxMa6G4 is far more user-friendly.

• Enhanced Communication:: When IDs are readable, they can be easily communicated over different channels, such as spoken language, emails, or text messages. This is especially useful in contexts like customer support or during collaborative work sessions, where team members need to quickly and accurately communicate specific IDs.
