> URL as the 'global state'

Are there still (browser) limits on how long such a URL can be? Would it e.g. be possible to store a text of 50.000 words in the URL alone?

Well you could always store the state in a database serverside and give the client some token to look up the state...

You can submit a form on click with an HTTP POST method - without any JavaScript. Doesn't make sense to cram so much data in a URL.

But then you don’t keep the state in the URL.

Modern browsers support very long URLs. Chrome supports URLs up to 2mb for example. Probably makes sense to think about the impact on users before using such long URLs, I have found it confuses people, and can also make sharing things on social media impossible.

You wouldn't cram the entire state into it, but you would cram enough data to be able to recreate your state (ie, an API-backed application might store the parameters required to make API calls)
