it would be great to use an alternative system (not linear 1 2 3 numbering) to refer to each posted log message... Something poetic would be nice, working with a list of unique words or something like that :)

However... the numbers are also used to keep track of the order in which the log messages are sent ... hmm!

We could use a poetic naming convention and store a timestamp as well. Then just do a for loop to walk through latest post to oldest post for the ordering? That might also open up some doors for archive search & filters related to time 🤔

To add to this conversation: you could look at diceware UUIDs. https://meet.jit.si uses them to generate room names for example.
