Include (preview of) content in idea URLs: '/ideas/123-first-30-or-so-chars-of-idea-here'.
That would make idea URLs more meaningful, but there’s something simple and beautiful about the shorter URLs that only have the numeric ID.
Could have backwards compatibility for the short version and continue using the hashtag in the UI. Best of both worlds?
That would mean fetching an idea to compute the path for each hashtag. Overhead?
Seems like minor overhead. It’s not like there are tons of user-generated hashtags everywhere.
This actually helps to prevent rendering links with IDs that don’t point to any existing idea.
Fetching the idea is not necessary if the feature is backwards compatible. Can still just use /ideas/123.
As noted in #1777, fetching the idea actually helps. Well worth the overhead.
