Nicer URLs :)

[mikeal]

Currently, we're using hash based routing in Vue.js, which means that the URLs aren't as pretty as they could be :)

We could us Vue.js' history mode but it's a little difficult to make it work with ghpages and/or Cloudflare.

One option would be to use history mode and create static pages for each resources, https://cli.vuejs.org/config/#pages. This would greatly improve our SEO but might increase our build times a bit.

Was this resolved (possibly in #103)? URLs appear to be very sensible from a user perspective at the moment

@mikeal Was your "not pretty" assessment just related to the URLs all including "/#/" or did you have something else in mind as well? Not that this convo will be affected by whether or not we move to VuePress (see #141).

Note that these issues are probably all affected in some way by the choices we make here:

• Want to be able to create separate meta tags for social sharing on separate "pages" (Feature: Enable separate metadata for different SPA page views for social sharing  #258)
• We haven't been able to use anchor tags to drop people down to specific content within a page because of the hash routing
• We need to think about what will work best longer term when we're ready to host on IPFS (Domain and deployment #18)

Closing as @zebateira has just gotten us switched over to history mode (removing the hashes and setting up redirects) and transitioned to Netlify. This should unblock the SEO / metadata challenges (#258), enable anchor tags, and help with a future transition to IPFS & Fleek (#18). 🎉
