Could we adopt the domain “.cd”?
How would people feel about a network-wide convention of abbreviated URLs having the form, `https://<topic>.cd`? For example, a shortened URL for a philosophy site would be `https://philosophy.cd`, along with the full URL of `https://philosophy.codidact.com`. (Or, maybe even shorter, `https://phil.cd`, or something.)Why? I just think it’s user-friendly, modern software design. It’s efficient to link to and refer to sites in the network, that way. It’s potentially more compact and memorable, even a type of “branding”. A number of other sites do this, for example, YouTube with “`youtu.be/`” style links, I think. Let me know your thoughts.
