@pimoore I hear you— but you’re talking like someone who wants a complex Hugo blog. By and large, MB was social software first, that wrapped around static blog hosting. Not blog hosting with an API for posting that later grew social. Organizing your content is pretty antithetical to the core idea of Mb which is make it easy as social media to post to your own blog. It’s specially about bringing the things that drew people to write on Twitter instead of their blog back to having a blog with all those benefits. Those of us who want piddly complex custom blogs are kind of outside the core initial idea and while supported, has to be balanced against losing what this is supposed to be.

An API in front of Hugo means this conversation doesn’t ever happen. I never find you. I probably never bother to reply.

I’m not saying you’re wrong by any stretch— I suspect custom URLs will be here within a year or two, for example. But as a product manager I feel almost compelled to support the challenge of not losing the original vision and differentiator to chase the super power users.
