Yeah, so I did implement the ability to POST the data. However because there was a need to be able to just share a link with someone and see everything they saw, so I had to somehow fit everything into the URL. I can't really go more in depth without divulging some info on the type of data, sorry!

Sound like you might benefit with being able to save a configuration file and that the whole dashboard might be a bit too complex for using inside a browser ?

Perhaps use a short random string or hash instead which is a reference to the saved state? This is preferable for a few reasons.
