[Roadmap] Make issue numbers clickable

[Andre601]

The issue numbers (i.e. MAS-23) should be clickable and point to the actual issues and PRs, if that is doable.

Or some kind of reference that is searchable here?

I started searching for how to add links to the issue numbers on roadmap page. After some digging, I found out that Mastodon is using https://linear.app/ to track the progress of their roadmap.

They are using Linear's API to retrieve the data and then using it into the Roadmap page. Check out the update-roadmap script in package.json file.

joinmastodon/package.json

Line 14 in 2daebb3

"update-roadmap": "node linear.mjs",

It basically makes an API call to Linear using their own LINEAR_API_KEY,

joinmastodon/linear.mjs

Line 7 in 2daebb3

const api = new LinearClient({

Retreives the data and stores it in linear.json file.

I think the links won't be available publicly anyway. Let me know what you think.

the links won't be available publicly

I agree. The final, internal issue tracker is private. And actually I don't have a problem with that. They do need a place for a conversation without all of us contributing. And we don't need full visibility of internal discussion.

But I would like to see a bit more information being available to the public, rather than just, this is maybe a candidate, maybe.

Perhaps they could have a field in each linear-issue that says: this is what's happening, the topic is known to be under discuss ion in this/these github-issue/s...

And then we can click on the issue to expand it and see the current content of that field.

I mean, I guess, any of us could start creating a github-issue for each linear-issue. But it would be better to have something endorsed by the dev team.

Just keep us "consulted/informed", please.
