Currently, Diskuto "decentralizes" its links in a couple ways:
- The recommended way to link to another post is with a relative link of the format
/u/:uid/i/:sig/. That lets links "just work" as long as other web interfaces use the same layout.
Item data just stores the binary-encoded uid/sig, and makes no reference to a particular server.
But yeah, it would be good to bite the bullet and define a URI scheme. Then we could link to something like diskuto:/post/:uid/:sig/, and clients could normalize that to whatever is appropriate for their view.
