Short URLs for Invoice, Proposals, etc.

The current URLS are all very long and look like this:
Can we please instead have something like: subdomain.company.com/invoice/ga1vef
This will save us from using another 3rd party URL shortener service.

This is complete. Just updated both Invoices and Proposals to use much shorter links.
Old links will continue to function, but new ones generated will look like this:

Not sure if it helps, but I use custom text (e.g. "Proposal") and hyperlink that so the client doesn't see the long URL.

Kristen Johnson: I do like pretty links 👍
Personally I like to just do something like client.domain.com/client

Kristen Johnson: Only if it requires them to log-in. I'd hate for a competitor to be able to view invoices by cracking the invoice number pattern. That said, if you base64 decode the token, it provides a good amount of information that helps Moxie reduce the likelihood of unauthorized people being able to view the invoice without logging into the portal.
Kristen Johnson
Klaus Guenther: I don't actually know what it means to "base64 decode" anything :) But that's a good point about cracking invoices and such. Not sure it's a super widespread issue, but that's good to think about!
Geoff Mina
Klaus Guenther: Not only that, but the 2nd part of the long token is a cryptographic signature of the base64 encoded part of it that defines the document location. So you can't just make up tokens and try to find invoices in our platform - WE are the only ones who can create and sign the tokens.
They have a valid and very secure purpose in life... I do understand the desire for short links though.
