I guess I don't understand the value of querying based on a slug when the slugs could disappear or change non-deterministically. Wouldn't that pattern of APIs just encourage code that works a lot except then it suddenly stops working for a totally opaque reason?
This was just a quick hack and so I'm keeping everything in a redis instance rather than using a real DB. A consequence of this is there's no good way to keep keys consistent if I were to ever need to rebuild the index. I've honed the script pretty well that renders the quotations pretty well though and at this point, I don't think the data will change.
I should really change the wording (or remove this disclaimer) to indicate this is a pretty remote possibility. It's just in case I need to go rebuild the index or something, but you're right, I think it will dissuade people from using this.
