Shareable Expressions and UI State & Edge sidebar add-on & Improvement 'Control character Y'

Request

Hello, I enjoy using your website and would love to see these features implemented to make it more enjoyable to use.

Feature 1: Shareable Expressions and UI State

This is similar to the typescript playground. I suggest you make settings selected in the app URI query parameters, and to save length encode the expression / test text in base64. There are some good compression libraries out there.

I would love to see this become a thing for two reasons. Its easier to share stuff this way /get back previous state, and its annoying if I forget to copy an expression and it doesn't get saved.

Feature 2: Edge sidebar add-on

I have taken to opening your app in the Microsoft edge sidebar. Its a quick way to test out expressions but because the app isn't a proper add-on, if I accidentally close the sidebar then I loose my expression, test text, etc.
