URL Query Params as the single source of truth for application state #56
Description
Description
It would be a good idea to explore a strategy where URL Query Params become the primary source of truth for our application state (specifically for search queries, filters, pagination, and sorting) on the Course Catalog page.
Some context

I think an ideal UX would be to always have the URL query params as the source of truth. That would make it so sharing links is much nicer as they would include anything that was searched/filtered for.
This seems to be something that is handled better by Tanstack Router v1 than react-router (see https://tanstack.com/blog/search-params-are-state, https://tanstack.com/router/latest/docs/framework/react/overview#1st-class-search-parameters), but if we already need to handle getting the query from the URL to support searching from the home page moving more of the state into the URL might make it so we can simplify some of the logic.
