Instead of having as title “ issue …” start with the title, or possibly the issue number

#154 Title of issue page should …

That way browser tabs can be used for navigation. There should be as much information as possible in first 14 characters.

I changed the title to be issueTitle (projectName #issueNumber). I left the project name in as it improves google’s index of YellowGrass and improves usability when working on multiple projects. Fixed on next update.

Fine to leave in project name, but why not put it last? And why not issue number first? That makes it easier to distinguish between issues with similar title (prefix).

I put the project name before the issue number as it felt more intuitive (top-down). I generally do not remember issue numbers, hence the title first seemed more appealing. However, I am fine with any title that can be well indexed by Google. I changed it to: issueNumber issueTitle (projectName).

I deployed a new version with the new title scheme for issue pages, but while using it, I realize that the issueNumber in first position makes issue pages look like error pages (the issue number being the HTTP error code). An issue 404 titled “Page not found”, would give a funny result though…

I will try to come up with a new scheme which fits all the requirements. Reopening the issue for now and assigning it to the upcoming 0.92 release.

I now added a hash (#) in front of the issue title. That should distinguish from error pages. I also added YellowGrass.org at the end to improve google’s indexing. Available on next update.
