I don't like using /p/snowdrift as the route to SnowdriftProjectR,
because it
introduces an unnecessary corner case. It means that when we
eventually want to
have /p/#Text, we have to use a smart newtype, and add a bunch of
extra code
that makes sure that nobody makes a project with "snowdrift" as its
slug.
Solutions:
1. Move /p/snowdrift elsewhere, like /snowdrift
2. Use /project/#Text rather than /p/#Text in the future.
3. Deal with the extra code bloat.
I vote for option 1, because it's by far the cleanest. It would be
really weird
to have /p/snowdrift, but no /p/AnyOtherProject. If there's a special
case, it
should be at a top-level route, like the other special cases, e.g.
/welcome,
/dashboard, /search, etc.
I don't understand exactly why it's a corner case. Under the current
system, wouldn't /p/snowdrift/ eventually be coded the exact same way
as any other project, so new projects would be prevented from using
`snowdrift` as a slug in the same way that they'd be prevented from
taking the slug of any other existing project?
