Nice!

The `t<X>` makes sense; we currently guess a tag name of "FooBarZaz" --> "fbz", but allow the user to override it, so you could hand-assign "t1", "t2", etc. as you added entities to the system.

Abbreviating/base36-ing even the auto-incremented numeric primary key to optimize lengths is neat; we haven't gotten to the size of ids where that is a concern, but it sounds like a luxurious problem to have! :-)
