Are separate directories for each blog post necessary? #14

As I understand it, the use of a separate directory for each blog post in the original site was to accommodate Hugo's limitations as a platform. Furthermore, if we store all images in a single public directory as discussed in https://github.com/Ricardo-Silva91/ipfs-blog-vuepress/issues/13 (and name images accordingly), there doesn't seem to be a need for a separate directory for each post at all:

  • not useful for keeping images organized
  • no impact on the URL structure, since that's specified in each post's frontmatter

Two requests for this issue:

  1. Can others confirm whether my statements above are correct?
  2. If so, can we please bulk-move existing blog posts out of their individual folders?

As I was writing the comment in #13 I was thinking about the same. Since we will be moving the media files to the public directory there's no need to have a directory for each blog post.

I will work on this alongside with the work I mentioned on #13.
