Document URLs
Status: WIP
Options
- An id (e.g. google)
- Several ids (e.g. airtable)
- A text name
- Several text names (e.g. github)
- An id and friendly name (e.g. dropbox)
Leaning towards an id and friendly name. Only id is interpreted by router. Name is checked only to make sure it matches current name of document. If not, we redirect to revised url before proceeding.
Length of ids depends on whether we'll be using them for obscurity to enable anyone-who-has-link-can-view style security.
Possible URLs
- docs.getgrist.com/viwpHfmtMHmKBUSyh/Document+Name
- orgname.getgrist.com/viwpHfmtMHmKBUSyh/Document+Name
- getgrist.com/d/viwpHfmtMHmKBUSyh/Document+Name
- getgrist.com/d/tblWVZDtvlsIFsuOR/viwpHfmtMHmKBUSyh/Document+Name
- getgrist.com/d/dd5bf494e709246c7601e27722e3aee656b900082c3f5f1598ae1475c35c2c4b/Document+Name
- getgrist.com/doc/fTSIMrZT3fDTvW7XDBq1b7nhWa24Zl55EVpsaO3TBBE/Document%20Name
Organization subdomains
Organizations get to choose a subdomain, and will access their workspaces and documents at orgname.getgrist.com. In addition, personal workspaces need to be uniquely determined by a URL, using docs- followed by the numeric id of the "personal organization":
- docs-1234.getgrist.com/
- docs.getgrist.com/o/docs-1234/
Since subdomains need to play along with all the other subdomains we use for getgrist.com, the following is a list of names that may NOT be used by any organization:
docs-\d+to identify personal workspaces- Anything that starts with underscore (
_) (this includes special subdomains like_domainkey) - Subdomains used by us for various purposes. As of 2018-10-09, these include:
- aws
- gristlogin
- issues
- metrics
- phab
- releases
- test
- vpn
- www
Some more reserved subdomains:
- doc-worker-NN
- v1-* (this could be released eventually, but currently in our code and/or routing "v1-mock", "v1-docs", "v1-static", and any other "v1-*" are special
- docs
- api
