In the spirit of Hacktoberfest, I'll be regularly highlighting issues in the DEV repo that we could use some help with.
The issue I'd like to highlight today is a feature request for a new liquid tag. We recently revamped the design of an article 'series' and it would be awesome if we could share a series by embedding them in a post.
Here's the issue:
Feature Request: Series Liquid Tag
#3046
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. There are other requests for features related to Series, like enhanced UX (https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/2558) or a landing page for a series (https://github.com/thepracticaldev/dev.to/issues/2424).
Along with those requests to make Series more useful, I would like a way to easily link to a series from within a post.
Describe the solution you'd like Using liquid tags to link to a Series based on the Series' slug. I imagine this would result in a card similar to the one rendered when linking to another post, but it would be tailored to the idea of a Series.
Describe alternatives you've considered Right now when I want to link to a Series, I link to the search where the search term is the Series name.
It's a hack and not great UX, but it kinda works for Series with descriptive names.

I think this page could use some more elaborate docs too. I'll put it on my list, but if anybody wants to take a cut at a better step-by-step guide before I get to it, be my guest.
I would like to implement the series liquid tag, if it's not already taken.
