Human readable URLs in UI
M
Michael OBrien
Currently, the app urls are extremely long and unreadable, for example: https://stitch.mongodb.com/groups/5ab028594e6581148629dc65/apps/5b28f4615fdce07a74cd7f50/triggers/5bcf226fe707c05350750dcc
This looks pretty ugly. It would be a lot more user friendly to:
- eliminate the /groups/<groupID>/ portion of the URL entirely - the app ID already uniquely identifies the group anyway
- use the clientAppID instead of the raw objectID for /apps/<appID>.
For example, the above URL could instead be represented as
with no loss of functionality or precision

Hi Folks!
As part of our upcoming re-brand of "Stitch" to "Realm" we'll also be migrating our feedback forum and joining the rest of MongoDB at feedback.mongodb.com, as part of that transition, we'll be shutting down this forum. We're still keeping track of this feedback and all of the related comments/discussions, but all future updates will be made here:

don't we force unique names on specific app resources (e.g. triggers, functions, etc.)? could we even get rid of those raw objectIDs a la:

Nicholas Makes: yeah, but you can't change app names. you can change (for example) the name of a trigger, and then that link would be broken.
