Slug & excerpt customization

#ProductUpdate
Since Quotion supported markdown front-matter recently, we're happy to announce more options to enhance your blogging experience.

Slug customization

You can now customize the slug of a post, allowing you to create shorter URLs. For example:

h​ttps://quotion.co/blog/post/launch-your-blog-from-apple-notes-in-4-simple-steps_393kzgJnUDCQE3xiACY28s
👇
h​ttps://quotion.co/blog/post/apple-notes-to-blog_393kzgJnUDCQE3xiACY28s

You can do it with the slug option:

===
slug: apple-notes-to-blog
===

Can I remove the id of a post?

In short, no.
You might notice the ID appended to the URL, like 393kzgJnUDCQE3xiACY28s. This is used to differentiate posts with the same title, which is supported by Apple Notes.

Excerpt customization

The excerpt is a short description of a post used in post cards and headers.

By default, Quotion extracts the first sentence of your note as the excerpt. However, this might not always capture the key ideas of your post. Now, you can directly customize this property:
