[Matt]'s experiment: short links, keep only what's needed

A project log for Hack the Hack A Day Editor

A hack based on "HTML Injection". Useful when you want an online editing feature that is not available otherwise. Might work on any Website.

[Matt] didn't liked long links. He experimented to see what is really needed, and found out you can drop the name-title part. Keep only the ID number.

So always use

https://hackaday.io/project/4731/log/20286
instead of
https://hackaday.io/project/4731-esplux-smarts-for-your-downlights/log/20286-scope-results

More then that, [Matt] found out that the text doesn't really matter at all:

Many of the links provided by the site itself, such as those to related projects and those to log entries from the feed, use the ID numbers only.
