Really cool, and I can see my designer friends enjoying this.

My only gripe is that it seems to break my back button in Firefox

The entire Apps state seems to be encoded in the URL, so each change also generates a completely new one. This breaks the state for me, I suppose Firefox doesn't like when you update the URL with every drag of a slider.
Breaking the back button isn’t necessary for this; all they need to do is call `history.replaceState()` instead of `history.pushState()`.
Thank you all for the feedback on this! I agree. It didn't seem like such an issue during development, but that was a misjudgement. Removed that functionality now. Should not add to history anymore (shareable URLs should still work).
