  This is awesome. It's nice to have a tool to show people why they shouldn't have non-capped exponential retries.

  It would be even nicer if adding configurations updated the URL so you could actually share the configuration with others. Oh, and a log(time) axis for better visualizations of non-linear retries.

  For now, just set a 5x exponential retry of 100ms...

  +1 to the other commenter. Please, make the URLs shareable. Maybe use the PlantUML's technique as the inspiration.
