Why it resonates

A URL can contain ~2000 characters, so why don’t you leverage this benefits?

For some one-way data, it’s a brilliant way to avoid database usage.

It also means your bookmarks are more valuable. A saved URL isn't just a destination; it's a snapshot of a specific view or configuration you found useful. You can return to exactly that state months later.
