Improvement: Implement a "Session" for the the /transactions page so user always comes back to where they left off

[zachgoll]

Currently, the /transactions view is where users go to review transactions across all of their accounts.

A current pain-point is the state of this page resetting each time the user navigates away from it. For example, in the screencast below, you can see how we lose the pagination + filters after going to view the transaction from its account page.

Solution

One potential solution is to store the most recent params that the user used on the /transactions page in the sessions table (to keep things server-side and simple) and restore these params each time the user visits /transactions:

• Store params in a session
• Store the scroll distance in a session (so they can return to the transaction they were last looking at)
• Restore the next time the user visits /transactions
• No matter where the user clicks in the app, they'll always return to their most recent set of filters/pagination/scroll on the main transactions view
