In praise of common sense in URL design (an ode to Leanpub)

This is an ode to the URL design of Leanpub , one of the few SaaS for which I am happy to have paid a lifetime subscription.

What comes after https://leanpub.com/ ?

Let’s say I’m writing/publishing a book called “The Incredible Story of Deft” and that I have given this publication the base URL “𝗱𝗲𝗳𝘁”.

The book’s landing page is at leanpub.com/𝗱𝗲𝗳𝘁. Easy, memorable After logging in:

• When I want to 𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 in the browser, I type: leanpub.com/𝗱𝗲𝗳𝘁/𝙬𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚
• Generate a 𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬? leanpub.com/𝗱𝗲𝗳𝘁/𝙥𝙧𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙚𝙬
• 𝙋𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝? leanpub.com/𝗱𝗲𝗳𝘁/𝙥𝙪𝙗𝙡𝙞𝙨𝙝

Simple. Easy. Memorable.

(BTW, the book is at https://leanpub.com/deft )
