Fix long URLs #9

Closed Manishearth closed 10 years ago

Manishearth commented 10 years ago

JSON.stringify()+encodeURIComponent = huge URL

We can possibly base64 encode it (atob(decodeURIComponent(data)) and encodeURIComponent(btoa(JSON.stringify(json))) work), or do something else. Either way, we won't have to percent encode the URL which makes it fatter.

Thoughts? @sushant-hiray

This makes sense. We should go ahead with this.

Just a food for thought, this would anyway can be pretty long too. How about add a button to give a bit.ly shortened version.
