Build and Run a Honeycomb Query right from your URL bar with Query Template Links

Whenever you run a Honeycomb query, you’re directed to the permalink for the results. Returning to this URL always supplies the same data without re-running the query, which is important when sharing links to make sure that everybody is looking at the same thing.
