The problem with the compact URLs is that a URL like https://matrix.to/@matthew:matrix.org would 1) send the entire URL to the server, which may be a privacy concern, and 2) require some server-side help, which would make it harder for people to host it themselves (e.g. matrix.to currently 404s on that link instead of loading the main matrix.to page)

The solution to this is probably to switch over to compact URLs everywhere as per issue #10.

Usually one would handle it like this, I guess:
https://matrix.to?r=#matrix:matrix.org
https://matrix.to?u=@matthew:matrix.org

yeah, but i'd prefer it to look more cosmetically like a mx://server/resource URL rather than a slightly clunky querystring, and to preserve the correct sigil semantics of matrix user ids, room aliases etc (even though they don't fit very nicely into http urls sadly)

How about /u/username/server.name for users and /r/roomname/server.name for rooms?

Another big problem with the "#" syntax is that this makes the matrix.to implementation impossible to proxy with apache/nginx as the full URL doesn't get sent as part of the "GET".

This is by design. To prevent the host being able to sniff on usage.
