Warpcast

I had wondered for a while why Warpcast uses `~` in various url paths

Just realized that it's for reserved pages like notifications, settings because the account path is absolute

Eg. If you go to warpcast.com/settings, it will go to @settings' profile (nice handle btw)

Yeah — this came up because we’re using y’all’s namespace and realized the the user “settings” would collide with the settings page path

Out of the three options, I think reserving fnames would have been the worst. We’re prob going to prefix the user page path with `u/`, `profile/`, or something

We really wanted the core user URLs to be `/username` not `/profile/username` and we did not want to pre-register some common fnames (like Twitter does for Home, Settings, Notifications).

another helpful link using the `~` is `/~/profiles/[fid]`, eg. this link below to get to my profile using my fid
