Display the revision number somewhere

It's awesome that you can share the URL without an explicit revision number. That way you can be sure the recipient is seeing the latest, including any last-minute fixes and tweaks.

When you visit the page though, you don't see what version you're at until you hit "save" or guess

e.g. https://tinker.io/5ede5/ takes you to https://tinker.io/5ede5/3 at the time of opening this issue, but you wouldn't know it. A redirect might also be a good solution.

What I did to prevent that from happening before, is simply redirect to the latest revision always (with the history api, if available), so that you would always have a hash + revision in the url.

URLs are going to get slightly more complex in the near future, with the addition of user accounts, so I never pushed that stuff live. One thing I also kind of want to do, is be able to view a revision history of any given tinker.

Thanks for reporting the issue though, I'll have a good think about it and see what I can come up with. :)

+1 for revision history, this would be extremely useful :)
