- DennisP 13y agoSo store the state on disk if the user hasn't been to the page for a while. When I've I last visited a tab three days ago I don't mind a little disk delay when I get back to it, in exchange for not having disk churn everywhere when I'm trying to get work done.
- Touche 13y agoA URL should contain all of the state needed. If it doesn't then it's a poorly designed website.
