Description

Background

Learning about algora's profile, and how it can nicely summarize some things, I looked to link to it from my CV. However, the profile link is relatively long compared to github / linkedin, so I needed to expand a column for the sake of adding the algora link.

For comparison:

github.com/:name
linkedin.com/in/:name
algora.io/profile/:name
algora.io/p/:name (feature idea)

Feature idea

When providing buttons to copy profile links etc, allow for a shorter link alias, such as algora.io/p/:name instead of algora.io/profile/:name. Retaining the current URL as the canonical URL you see once you have arrived probably makes sense, as its easier to understand.

Research direction

Start by locating the profile-link copy buttons and the routing or entry point for algora.io/profile/:name. Check how the existing profile URL is generated and canonicalized. Done means algora.io/p/:name works as an alias while the existing profile URL remains canonical.
