Hello,

I REALLY like this app. I have autism, its wonderful! Love it! What would be nice would be the ability to bookmark to a specific provider / category

I'm thinking this could be done using the history API to update the URL as items are selected? I could probably develop a proof of concept if you like the idea and want a hand with the development.

Cheers,

Jamie + Lion

Hi and thank you for the nice comment. Actually, I recognise your name, probably through Henny, so great to have your feedback.

I agree about the ability to bookmark, which also means the back button would be a bit more useful — currently it just goes back to a fresh page load.

I've not used the history API but it's a good idea, although I'd like to keep support for older browsers so using a polyfill such as history.js might be preferable.

If you have time to do a bit of development that would be wonderful but forgive me if I don't review/merge it quickly — pretty busy at the moment.

Thanks again.
