URL pattern for addressing documents.

[HMarzban]

URL/Uniform resource locator

What I propose is this pattern:

www.docs.plus/username/document_name

(Or we can replace username with the unique name and then name it namespace)

This pattern is a way to create a more personalized and organized URL structure for addressing documents.

Key features:

1. Personalization: By including the user's name in the URL, it becomes more personal, and also it could be helpful to identify the user's documents.
2. Organization: Grouping documents by a user can make it easier to manage and organize the documents on the website.
3. Access control: By associating documents with specific users, it can be used to control access to the documents. Only the user or authorized users can access the document.
4. Easy to remember: If the document's URL includes the user's name, it may be easier for the user to remember and find the document again in the future.
5. User-friendly: It can make the URLs easier to read and understand.

However, there are also some potential downsides to this pattern. For example, if a user changes their name, the URL will no longer be accurate, and a redirect must be implemented to avoid broken links. Additionally, this pattern may not work well if the website has a large number of users or documents, as it could lead to a very deep directory structure.

Overall, this pattern is one way to address a document, and it could be helpful when the website is designed for personal usage or collaboration.

Ultimately, the best solution will depend on our specific needs and the trade-offs we are willing to make between personalization and scalability.

Filters

The other subject that we have to consider is the filters!

For instance, we have a document with the name document_name, which belongs to the username adem_po; the URL pattern would be like this:
www.docs.plus/adem_po/document_name
In this document, I need to filter contents based on the Heading hierarchy with these words:

• democracy
• 2020
• china
• alternative

We can show the filters (append filter parameters to the URL) in two ways:

1. Query parameters:
   1.1 www.docs.plus/adem_po/document_name?filter=democracy
   1.2 www.docs.plus/adem_po/document_name?filter=democracy,2020,china,alternative
2. Subdirectory:
   2.1 www.docs.plus/adem_po/document_name/democracy
   2.2 2.2 www.docs.plus/adem_po/document_name/democracy/2020/china/alternative

Alternative, Use a hash fragment in the URL

This method allows us to include a filter in the URL after the "#" symbol, For example:

www.docs.plus/username/docuemnt_name#filter=democracy,2020,china,alternative

How about:

Default open pads can be at
docs.plus/document_name

Private pads at
username.docs.plus/document_name

Filters:
username.docs.plus/document_name/filter1/filter2

And to link to individual headings, something like:
username.docs.plus/document_name#heading-ID-heading-text

It's good to have the username as a subdomain, but it makes it difficult to maintain the production.
For now, we'll choose the www.docs.plus/username/filters.
Then, we can consider this subdomain feature for the upcoming version.

Also, to link to individual headings, what you suggest is reasonable for me. Let's stick to this one.
