This number is around 2000 to support most browsers. \r\n\r\nWould it break user expectations if we build links and use get parameters when length allows (especially with vega-lite), and failover to the current implement for longer specs?"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/vega/vega-embed/issues/comments/210521154","html_url":"https://github.com/vega/vega-embed/issues/9#issuecomment-210521154","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/vega/vega-embed/issues/9","id":210521154,"user":{"login":"arvind","id":42262,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/42262?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvind","html_url":"https://github.com/arvind","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvind/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvind/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvind/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvind/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvind/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvind/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvind/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvind/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/arvind/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-15T16:01:28Z","updated_at":"2016-04-15T16:01:28Z","body":"Fair question! The current setup is less than ideal but we chose it because it provides a _consistent_ user experience (including a consistent experience of what works and does not work). If we were to implement the suggested functionality, I think knowing when a full URL would be produced would be opaque to the end-user and thus be more frustrating (e.g., \"can I right click and open in a URL window for this spec or not?\")."}}
