Would be nicer than being stuck with the auto-generated cryptic slug.

@kynan , thanks for your feedback

If I create a slideshow with the url /the-best-slideshow maybe other person can be try to use the same url and delete your content ...

maybe choosing the url is useful if the slideshows are separated by users with login

/kynan/the-best-slideshow
/juanpabloaj/the-best-slideshow

but I try to keep the service simple to use, whitout login

what do you think ?

@juanpabloaj it could just be first come first served: if the URL is taken it's taken. How do you handle this at the moment?

All person can edit the content of a slideshow, if you create a slideshow with the url /the-slideshow, I can go to the slideshow with the url /the-slideshow and edit the content, the content is not protected by user or login, for this reason I prefer user random ids.

For now, the only way to save your content is storage in a github gist, read more info in http://platon.io/gist

OK, I see what you mean: with random URLs you provide "security by obscurity".

Allowing to render a Gist is a really neat!
