A uuid is a 128b number with a specific structure. You can encode them in base32 if you want, there is no need for any sort of conversion scheme.

You need to convert it to perserve the timestamp info correctly so that a ULID library reading the base32 format would reproduce the same timestamp.

What I'm saying is that ULID is irrelevant and unnecessary, if you want "double clicked to select, and case-insensitive" you just encode your UUIDs in base32. They're still UUIDs.

Nah ULID guarantees some extra stuff as part of its spec beyond UUIDv7, including true sub-millisecond monotonicity and a ceiling of 7ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ. You can convert to base32 to get some of the benefits but they're not exactly the same.
