mirror

Paragraph

Should I migrate from /mirror to /paragraph? Feels like the former is just being abandoned bit by bit…

just use a custom domain. costs $20 on paragraph. then you don’t have to worry about loosing seo everytime your underlying tools don’t meet your expectation.

it’s gonna happen a lot more because venture backed companies go big or go to the cemetery. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Good point! The URL scheme is different though…

what do you mean? https://writing.artivilla.com is running. Paragraph. I own the domain.

I mean blog engine 1 has urls <yourdomain>/p/[slug], engine 2 has urls <yourdomain>/post/[id], so when you switch, the old URLs stop working

are interesting didn’t notice. In this case, I would also create redirects for the other slug.

my point was simply since I own my subdomain on paragraph if I want to self host, `https://writing.artivilla.com/[slug]` can be easily recreated for all my posts. regardless of how their system works internally. in fact, my urls were preserved from https://svbtle.com since I had setup the same subdomain and I can customize them in paragraph per post.

ah true. in this case I would ask mirror, this is the least they can do for you and others who want to port over.

But how would you create them if you don't control the engine?
