Show HN: pg_idkit - A Postgres extension for generating popular UUIDs

Just put some elbow grease into the automated release process, so happy to release v0.2.1[0] of pg_idkit!

It should be really easy to start/try it out now, assuming you have docker installed:

    docker run \
        --rm \
        -e POSTGRES_PASSWORD=replace_this \
        -p 5432 \
        --name pg_idkit \
        ghcr.io/vadosware/pg_idkit:0.2.1-pg16.1-alpine3.18-amd64

And to connect to that instance you can run:

    docker exec -it pg_idkit psql -U postgres

After you're in, generate an ID:

    SELECT idkit_uuidv7_generate()

If you've got a chance to try it out (or there's a reason you can't), would love to hear feedback! Or even better yet, file an issue[1]
