Server: [RFC] Drop /apps Route in Apps URLs

[eppfel]

Just a quick idea. Please excuse, if this was discussed before, but...

would it be possible to drop the apps in the URLs of apps.
So

http://exmaple.org/nextcloud/apps/calendar/
becomes
http://example.org/nextcloud/calendar/

Just look how sexy that reads. 😍

Or https://epp.cloud/calendar

We only would have to restrict possible app names from standard namespaces, like /settings, etc.

@LukasReschke @MorrisJobke who else to mention for this?

[MorrisJobke]

we just do this for proper namespacing. Otherwise we could run into issues where we want to have an internal route but an app with the same name would collide.

But in the end: if we define some of our internally used names and forbid them I would like this approach.

@nickvergessen @rullzer @icewind1991 @schiessle @blizzz @karlitschek Opinions on this?

[LukasReschke]

I'm not a fan of this, this limits us massively in the future on choosing names for URLs. My favour would be with keeping the /apps/

[rullzer]

I must say I'm with @LukasReschke here. If we must do this then do if fancy like the short sharing url. So: https://epp.cloud/a/calendar although IMO we should then go with https://epp.cloud/awesomoApps/calendar

Okay ... we keep it -> closing ;)
