Using websh with URL parameters:

You can use URL parameters to run commands while the page is loading, e.g. `https://websh.crilum.tk/?command=echo Hey, this command was run via URL!&command=time`
Basically, write `?command=yourCommand` after the URL (https://websh.crilum.tk/), and use `&command=yourCommand` after the first command, and thereafter.
There isn't a maximum number of commands you can specify (until you hit the browser URL size limit of course), but it's best to keep the number of chars in your URL below 2000.
