The fact that the search works impressed me more than anything. Of course, like every great magic trick, it seems so simple once it is explained.

For the curious, here's the linked blog post describing how the project works: https://eieio.games/blog/writing-down-every-uuid/

Edit to add: I'd only tried searching for an exact UUID when I wrote this comment. I didn't realize it supports full text search! Now I'm even more impressed.

Jumped to the bottom and the page locked up. Console shows: Uncaught Error: Index out of range - must be less than 2^122

oh hm, i thought I had fixed every case where that popped up. I can't reproduce the issue on any browser on my machine - how did you jump to the bottom (hotkey, scrollbar, scrolling for a trillion years) and what platform are you on (if you don't mind sharing)?

use the scroll bar to get to the "end" then use scroll wheel. that's how I managed to hit it reliably.

Every uuid dot com except if greater than 2^122 -1 doesn’t have the same ring ;)

There aren't more than 2^122 UUIDv4s.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Chome on Windows. Grab the right scroll bar and pull to the very bottom. Once at the bottom try to scroll down with mouse scroll wheel. Screen goes blank and the error appears in the console.

OH! Thanks for the precise reproduction steps, I had done my testing with a trackpad and had missed that! Writing a little fix now (I'd hate for you to not be able to see the last UUID)
