We have a static site what we wanted to be able to create shareable links that captured the page as it was. We found an excellent solution using LZMA here: https://github.com/topaz/paste/tree/master . Take a look at our "Share this Fit as a URL" Button. It copies a URL to your clipboard that has the data and current fit you are on all encoded. No backend required to share large amounts of data.
