I'm sorry, that sounds like a great idea though! I tried https://github.com/KilledByAPixel/JSONCrush the other day but it errored on first try so I didn't have a further look... But having shorter URLs would be great for sure!

I'm now trying using muon, it should encode the numbers a bit better

Blargh, nope. Not production-ready yet :(

Sorry man, tried to help but it will take a bit more work than a quick break. Might pick it up again later though :)

Thanks for you help! In the meantime I also tried json-url, but again didn't really shorten the URL much ☹️
