Nice app! Is there a way to link directly to a search results page? Something like https://ultimate-tab.com/search?q=hotel%20california%20eagles&type=chords would be really handy for sharing links to multiple charts.

Just shared my instance with a bandmate, and he asked if stuff like light/dark mode and transposition could be set via query parameters too.

Hi @dayofthedave, thank you for your interest in the project ! Currently, it’s not possible, but it’s a feature I could add without much difficulty. At the moment, I don’t have much time to work on the project, but I’m gathering feedback from several people interested in the project to see if I should start hosting the site again and make it evolve. Feel free to give me feedback here 🙂 : https://github.com/BenoitBellegarde/UltimateTab/issues/18#issuecomment-2216635075

Hi @dayofthedave @AstudilloMarillo, I just added URL parameters to filter the search, so you can now filter using these 3 parameters via the URL:

"q": Name of the artist/song to search for "type": Chords/Tab/Bass/Ukulele/All "page": Page number

Example : https://ultimate-tab.com/search?q=Pink+floyd+wish+you+were+here&type=Tab&page=1

The URL is automatically updated as you navigate the site, so you can copy and paste the URL at any time to share your search results.

@dayofthedave I changed it to set the light mode as the default, but I don't think I will implement managing this parameter via the URL since this setting is saved in local storage in the browser. You only need to change it once, and it will be saved for all future sessions on the site. Regarding transposition, at the moment, it's a bit too complicated to pass this parameter via the URL with the way I’ve implemented transposition. I would need to rework this part to accommodate that integration. I’ll keep you updated as soon as I have time to do this.

Have a great day folks! :)
