Thanks! I think having duplicate questions won't happen too often (because why ask the same question twice?), but I do indeed need to keep it mind for when it does happen.
I'm thinking of just adding an incrementing number to the end of the slug (e.g. "foo-bar" for the original question, and "foo-bar-2" for the duplicate question)
It will happen because there is no search yet so it depends when you will implement it. But again nobody searches because its harder than directly asking (personal opinion because that's what I do all the time on StackOverflow 😂)
For it not to happen you will need a similar questions functionality like StackOverflow
Slug-ID or the one like Medium does (Slug-BigUniqueID). The advantage is that 2 questions can be same so only way to differentiate is by unique IDs :)

That might work too.

Yeah good point on the search. That's planned.
For what it's worth, searching is often quicker because you might find an existing answer.
