0.11.0 Release breaks gists

[alexroan]

Opening gists in remix via a URL (like this: https://remix.ethereum.org/#version=soljson-v0.6.7+commit.b8d736ae.js&optimize=false&evmVersion=null&gist=0c5928a00094810d2ba01fd8d1083581) is broken as of the 0.11.0 release.

Error message:

Gist load error
No workspace has been opened.

The issue is resolved once the default workspace is generated, but that must be done by navigating to remix.ethereum.org (without params).

This is a UX problem for us as we use gists to direct users from our docs and will be a frustrating stumbling block for beginners.

Cannot agree more on this one. Cleaning the cache or going to the Remix website without gists attached in the link sets up a default workspace but a lot of people will find it frustrating that it doesn't work for them if they've used Remix already.

It would be great if a default workspace is created automatically despite the extra arguments in the link.
Thanks in advance.

Agreed. Creating a default workspace if one doesn't exist when opening these gists would solve the issue, and improve user experience for first time users of remix

Thank you so much! It works.
Appreciate you understood the importance of this one.
