You should put the URL in the URL structure so it exposes it on the link like how Apple news and amp does.

Currently it looks like you're stripping that information and replacing it with an id.

You could even do something that I did about 7 years ago that people hated for a reason I still do not know and I abandoned, which is if a url is just an id then you create a stub from the document title and use that in your url structure instead. Then it communicates the purpose of the content in those cases as well. Here's the code https://github.com/kristopolous/linkgo.es



I agree - I have more expressive URLs on the roadmap. Thanks for the link.
