Project codes.

Projects can be be hard to find sometimes. I know that, so I propose:
Project codes!
It gives each project a certain code. It will be shown on the project. The code will have 3-5 characters. And, a new button will appear, (next to the search bar), for project CODES! Where you can search a project up using its code.

Process:
- I find project
- I write the project code down
- I forget project name
- I search up project code
- I see project again!

If you have any questions I will answer them.
I would be nice if a mock-up was made, I'm in the process of making one. But, still.

3-5 characters probably wouldn't work, as there are almost a billion projects on Scratch (no exaggeration: make a new project and see the project ID).

If you do the math, having 5 characters would add up to around 60-70 thousand combinations, which isn't even close.

I do like the idea, though I'm not sure if it can be done with the massive amount of projects.

Yeah I can see how this would be hard to do, no matter the amount of characters…
