"I encode the tiddler creation date with miliseconds precision in a shorter reversable way
(from 17 characters to 10).
But when tiddlers are created with the same exact date (for example programmatically)
I produce the same encoding (because of reversability).
I recommend to use nanoID instead to get unique visible different identifiers "
