Would be cool to also generate the redirects.json to make sure search engines and users that have bookmarked pages on medium can access them on the new ghost blog.

I was assuming that most people would be moving from medium.com to their own domain, so they wouldn't need rediects on their domain.

I did try to implement canonical url links in the imported blog posts so you wouldn't have any SEO impact by duplicating your content on a new domain, but at the time I wrote this tool, there was no way to set canonical urls in Ghost. I filed a feature request on Ghost, but I'm not sure if it was ever implemented.
