Coming soon to Kitten: one-step evergreen web
One day, you might want a Small Web place at your personal domain. I know I will, at https://ar.al. Problem is, I already have a site there with 20 years of content. And I don’t want all those links to break.
So I’ll simply point a subdomain (e.g., archive.ar.al) to my current server and enter that domain in Kitten’s Settings page.

@aral that sounds like an amazingly useful feature!
@4censord Thanks 
@aral I'm not currently using kitten, but that method seems incredibly simple, just run an archive and redirect invalid links from the new site there. I never considered that it can be so simple. I will definitely use that.
@4censord And you don’t have to use Kitten to use the technique either. You can set up any web server to do it. I’ve got instructions for nginx and there’s a plugin for Wordpress at https://4042307.org
We were in the process of creating a massive set of nginx redirect links for this, and then you've posted about 404 -> 307. It works perfect!!
@radioalmaina Yay! Glad it helped :)
PS. Just a heads up, been told that some RSS readers have not been updated to understand 307 redirects and that might be true for podcast apps too. In case that’s an issue for you, you can use a 302 redirect instead. That will change the HTTP method to GET regardless of what the original method was but I’m assuming that wouldn’t be an issue for your use case.
