   I see 3 options:

   • switch to dynamic Flask webapp
   • implement redirects in Elsa (Frozen-Flask) via HTML meta header (probably ugly)
   • do the redirects on some kind of CDN (needs to be synchorinised, also CloudFlare only allows 3 page rules for free, etc.)

   I was going to enumerate two of these options. Currently, this can be solved with <meta> redirects, which are however very difficult to create in such a way that Frozen-Flask can collect them. Deploying for "real" would also solve this.

   Well i was thinking we could teach Frozen-Flask to create those mate redirects when it sees a flask.redirect, but than again you would also need to feed it a route generator in order to be able to collect them. My opinion: Too much work, given the fact that we'll probably need to switch to dynamic website soon enough anyway.

   Note: Even when we switch to something dynamic, I'd like to keep the Elsa-driven static site working for local development. But, URL stability won't matter too much there.
