@jcreed @johnnesky Yes, and it was beepbox that also inspired me to implement that sharing strategy in the current dusa.rocks/ ! I credit you (and @agoode8008 I guess) with the theory and implementation of "just make it a compressed base64 encoded thingy, the web platform includes that now"

Incidentally github.com/robsimmons/sketchzo includes additional error detection&handling and gets smaller URLs w "deflate-raw." If we don't move twelf-wasm to sketchzone, some is worth backporting

Also true story the persistence-with-no-server mechanism for sketchzone is IndexedDB and not localStorage because I blew the last frontend interview I had in part because I totally forgot about the existence of anything besides localStorage and cookies. 😭
