Right now shortform posts are more like comments than posts (i.e. on the offchance you haven’t seen it, see my shortform feed). In particular, they don’t have titles (which seems sort of important to enable them to be more off-the-cuff, without necessarily having a clear encapuslation).
The current plan is to continue using the current system (wherein users get to have a post called “Gordon’s Shortform” or some such), just in a more automated fashion, and possibly slightly tweaking the styles on shortform pages to look somewhere in-between posts and comments. But, one of the open questions is whether they actually warrant full backend support for a new content type.
