UPD: Not updating since 1.1.0 (26 January 2021).

Good day!

Thank you for your GREAT work!

I have some enhancement requests... Just for a note, maybe. I will update them permanently.

1. URLs should become to a corresponding state. On Dataset page, URL is /projects/4/dataset. But refreshing the page redirects to /projects/4 ([Feature request] Idea: make view and URL interconnected #595; implemented in Fix pagination and transition issues #897; see also Certain dynamic routes resolve to unexpected URLs. #992, 976).
2. Pagination, "rows per page" should change URL ([Feature request] Idea: make view and URL interconnected #595; also mentioned in Redirect to the specific page by id, not by offset. #540, Custom URL #578; implemented in Fix pagination and transition issues #897). And moreover: every view state should have its own URL.
