Talk: How to handle redirects

[Jetbo]

Story: As a client, I want to be able to generate streams with custom asset_id uuids or by a group of asset_urls in order to handle redirects.

Example:
An editor creates a page with a comment stream at www.somedomain.com/coral-tak-is-cool and notices there's a typo in the slug later. The page already has comments and decent traffic, but they would prefer a better url for SEO. They create a 301 from www.domain.com/coral-tak-is-cool to www.somedomain.com/coral-talk-is-cool (with the same page content), but end up with a new comment stream since the url changed.

This could be handled by an outside system, but it feels more like a potential core feature.

You can handle this with a plugin that hooks into the graph which is what I've seen in the past as a great solution to this.

I'll update when I find that code 😄

Updates! We just open sourced a plugin for exactly this!

Yup, this will work beautifully, thank you so much!
