I'm so happy Sequoia was published today; I was just thinking about integrating standard.site to my blog, this is perfect timing! Thanks!

I've come across a few issues, and I wanted to check whether they're "real" or my poor configuration, and offer help to fix if needed.

Here's a post of mine:

Issues

  1. Subdirectories

    This markdown file is stored at 40th-puzzle-box/what-a-gift/index.md (inside the content/posts dir I've configured as contentDir with Sequoia) but the AT record has path: "/posts/index" — Sequoia has missed two layers of subdirectory there. Can I enable subdirectory support?

  2. Hidden 'index' docs

    Hugo allows us to use index.md files within a folder to allow keeping assets in the same dir (like I have here) — but Sequoia isn't aware of this, so is incorrectly guessing the canonicalUrl as https://www.byjp.me/posts/index, instead of https://www.byjp.me/posts/40th-puzzle-box/what-a-gift/. How do I configure the removal of /index URL suffixes?

  3. Using post summary as textContent

    My posts make heavy use of Hugo shortcodes, (they {{< look like this >}}), there's no reasonable way Sequoia could parse them, but I had assumed that it would pull the summary instead (as I thought I'd configured that). Can I configure Sequoia to use my summary as textContent, instead of the markdown body?

Thanks again, please let me know where I can help!
