Description

Today I assembled my first keyboard that exceeded the URL-length limit. It was a keyboard where every key was its phonetic sound, from clips off dictionary.com, so you could type and speak.

Anyways, I think long term we should make a backend for storing the keyboard/beat info, so people can "save" and it will store, and the URL will be an ID instead of all the stored data.

@kumavis had the idea of persisting to github gists, which I know @maxogden has a module for, so that's an option..

Oh, if you want to paste my phonetic keyboard into local storage, I posted it as a gist here.

Research direction

Start by reading the issue body and the linked phonetic-keyboard gist, then inspect the repository to locate how keyboard and beat data are currently encoded in URLs. Compare a GitHub Gist-based approach with other persistence options and define the save/load behavior, including ID-based URLs, before implementation.
