 ## Usage
 
+### URL-Safe, Double-Click Selectable IDs
+
+OpaqueId defaults to generating **slug-like IDs** that are perfect for URLs and user-facing identifiers:
+
+- **URL-safe**: No special characters that need encoding
+- **Double-click selectable**: Users can easily select the entire ID
+- **Shorter than UUIDs**: 18 characters vs 36 for UUIDs
+- **Collision resistant**: Built on Ruby's `SecureRandom` for security
+
+```ruby
+# Default generation creates slug-like IDs
+id = OpaqueId.generate
+# => "izkpm55j334u8x9y2"  # Perfect for URLs and user selection
+
+# Compare to UUIDs
+uuid = SecureRandom.uuid
