A small but exciting update on Issue Scout 🚀

Since my last devlog, I’ve been working on making it easier to find and share open source issues.

Here’s what I added:

🔗 Shareable search links — You can now share a search with its filters, so someone else can open the same search without setting everything up again.

🎯 Direct issue links — Instead of searching for an issue manually, you can open it directly in Issue Scout.

👀 Issue preview API — Added an API endpoint to fetch issue details for those direct links and validate the response before displaying it.

I also added tests for the new URL handling and ran the full checks.

✅ 30 tests passing
✅ No ESLint errors
✅ Production build successful

The update is shipped and now waiting for review! 🤞

Still plenty to improve, but one step at a time. I’d love to hear what filters, search features, or quality of life improvements would make this more useful for people getting started with open source contributions.
