Unecessary permlink suffix? #157

Closed bonustrack closed 5 years ago

bonustrack commented 5 years ago

I've posted an article and the permalink got a random suffix @steemscript/steemconnect-3-a-better-way-to-sign-63826a07f8f44est (see the -63826a07f8f44est) The post has been published from a draft. It would be cooler if Surfer don't add this extra chars on the end of the title.

Thanks, this is to keep randomness on permlink as well as helps our curators to detect the links. Medium.com uses similar approach...

Do you think it is discouraging you from sharing a link or makes url not attractive?

bonustrack commented 5 years ago

Yeah the url look less attractive, Medium does not seem to care much about the first part of the permlink for example this https://medium.com/byteball/b35964feee8e redirect to https://medium.com/byteball/bringing-identity-to-crypto-b35964feee8e perhaps i would prefer a url like @steemscript/63826a07f8f44est
