Saved automata not loading

[gregth]

Trying to load saved automata (using share links) is working inproperly. Specifically, sometimes it takes too much time to load the saved NFA and sometimes it doesn't even load it at all.

Example link of saved NFA: http://automata.discrete.gr/##v70

Try removing the extra # the the link is sometimes parsed wrong and adds an extra # where there should be none.

The generated links contain a double #. Removing the extra # doesn't seem to be the solution to the problem. Actually it would seem a good idea the generated links not to contain a double #, but still I think it has nothing to do with the initial problem.

A PR will be much appreciated :)

Here is what needs to be changed https://github.com/dionyziz/Automata/blob/master/site/js/ui.js#L43

My guess would be that if the link contains ONLY a # instead of #v it will add that extra #, also if anything else for that matter for example #123bebebe :D

So the automaton is not loading when the "url" is wrong like the one you initially shared. The reason it is slow is that it has to render the automaton locally through javascript, so if the automaton is complex it will take some time, a solution would be a loading animation, this way the the behavior is what would be expected.
