Description

Nature of issue?
  • Existing feature enhancement
Feature enhancement details:

Right now, the link to sketches are only by the sketch id, which is not very human readable. It would be cool to have human friendly links. For now, the simplest version of this would be to generate a slug every time a sketch is saved from the title of the project, and then a user can navigate to the sketch using that slug by going to /<username>/sketches/<slug>.

Research direction

Start by tracing how sketches are saved and how the //sketches/ route currently resolves sketches. Determine the slugging and uniqueness behavior needed for titles, then verify that saving and opening a sketch both work through the human-readable URL.
