My Docker logs shows a string of these errors:

thread 'actix-rt|system:0|arbiter:6' (21) panicked at src/data.rs:158:73:
called `Option::unwrap()` on a `None` value

I think the problem is the article ID lives after the question mark (in the query string), LibRedirect does not remove/replace the question mark when performing a redirection, but LibMedium only parses the path and not the query parameters for an article ID. Is this behavior better to change in LibRedirect or LibMedium?

(Even after fixing this URL, I get a 404 on md.vern.cc but the article loads fine on my own instance.)

When I click on https://www.designsystemscollective.com/the-blueprint-for-creating-an-icon-system-that-stays-consistent-at-scale-bde858c111ef, the server redirects me to https://medium.com/m/global-identity-2?redirectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.designsystemscollective.com%2Fthe-blueprint-for-creating-an-icon-system-that-stays-consistent-at-scale-bde858c111ef. Then LibRedirect forwards this to a LibMedium instance at md.vern.cc or my self-host. At this point, I get a 502 error on md.vern.cc or a blank page on my self-host.
