> For Canny, I wrote some awesome code that I'm proud of that turns a "post title" into a unique URL.

Did you mean "slug"? What you are describing is a basic feature of most blogging software since the inception of blogs...

It's way more than that.

– Automatically handling duplicates

– Avoiding needing to include the unique ID in the URL

– Updating the URL after editing the post

– Redirecting previous versions to the new version

I think most blog platforms have that...
Wordpress has supported all of that for as long as I can remember
What's your point?
The point is you're reinventing the wheel.
