The package includes a substantial README and changelog, but the README explicitly says shortid is deprecated because its architecture is unsafe and recommends Nano ID instead; this is a direct adoption warning.
The repository recorded 0 commits and 0 active maintainers in the last 3 months, indicating no recent maintenance activity and increasing abandonment risk.
The repository is owned by an individual user rather than an organization, so there is no provided evidence of organizational backing to offset the thin current maintenance activity.
The package has 32 releases over roughly 15 years, but no releases in the last 12 months; the long history helps maturity, while the current release gap raises maintenance concern.
There were no new or closed issues and no new or merged pull requests in the last month, which is consistent with the absence of recent commits and provides no evidence of active upkeep.
We didn't find any vulnerabilities for this package.
