@Profpatsch We were considering switching from hex codes to decimal numbers https://codeberg.org/fediverse/fep/issues/196

A shortcut name seems to have the same downsides as hex code plus it's longer to write

@silverpill @sabrinkmann @grindhold Why does it have the same downsides? It makes people actually able to remember them and typing words is easier than typing arbitrary hex (plus it’s harder to typo)

@Profpatsch @sabrinkmann @grindhold I mean the downsides mentioned in the issue, a short name would still be tied to a title. And it is only easier to remember until the moment someone submits another FEP on the same topic and uses FEP-federated-marketplace2 as an identifier.
