Interestingly, it looks like your modified URLs actually still work if you click on them. IE, you can use one to get to the story with that number on the site. https://domain/s/####-anything-you-want seems to work.

So adding something to the story ID and URL might work. But it would involve changing the story ID and URL during metadata fetch which some other adapters do and can be a bit clumsy.

I don't have the energy right now to do more than vaguely speculate.
Sadly, I have.... Sometimes with days. Picture "new author" with single story posted, that then gets deleted/removed and then another new story is posted a day later...

Awesome to know about the URL "working" (obviously it will only pull the "current" story using that URL, but definitely a possible "more unique" identifier solution...)
