That's only because SPAs routing maybe internal for that particular app. In that case, the UI/UX to end user is *only* possible and smooth when they hijack the back button as such.

Finally! (For this feature to be shipped).

Almost unrelated, but.. I wonder ..if there was an APM intern[1] behind this, or maybe this was this project. Because, this, would have been an excellent one!

[1] I had the fortune to be one myself in June 2012 for the Chrome Team.

Modern 2026 click bait:

1. Provide “distinct” proof 2. Title it as the antithesis

This is just the most oxymoronic article. It’s like it knew we would all be like… wait.

I really hope the OP reads the following comment.

And, Hey, I promise, I wouldn't willingly... go *out of my way ON A late FRIDAY EVENING (EST)* -- as I low key peruse HN on some sh* mobile browser at a dinner event --

This is really awesome. It took me a second, but then I realized I'm inline tinkering with the product.

Don't let these "pitter, patter" HN minor critiques get in the way of delivering a novel product that is currently on the top of HN.

If it auto-went to dark mode, I would've probably been even more "whoa, i get it..". I know it makes no sense, but, default to dark-mode w/ a fallback header "light" option?

Also, for someone who has dark mode configured on their most visited websites, the light is a little overwhelming. Not at your fault by any means. It's just this may be your average visiting user on your app. I could be the only one, of course.

Excited to see where this goes.

Wicked, I wonder what the most juiced option would cost amongst your upgrade options.

I strongly feel that each board should display pricing in two ways 1. Market price. buy now price. 2. Get it used (used market price).

I wonder what (api?) creators are using to programmatically calculate this pricing.

Yeah my defact is to run 5k at my pace (mild jog is fine), and just not use my screens + do not disturb mode, until i have a series of thoughts that invokes me to use my phone as a "lifeline" to quickly look up what I need to get to my next thought.

5km goes by fast! And orange juice tastes great after.

Wow, Charlottes Web is such unique strain. I'm always on another planet no matter what the THC is advertised.

I feel like that strain is for EXPERTS. You can always mold it to the vibe you are aiming to reach in that present (ofc in the appropriate environments).

Do you feel like the anxiety just the cascaded result of ... "poor planning" over an extended, day-over-day staggering, sleep-deprived, period of time? I consider my self naturally the poorest of poor planners. My brain is just RAM with zero cache that i always imagine that I have. I've had weeks wiz by if I do not get on top of a fun, MJ propagandized base routine / schedule in place.

Apologies! Worse case, this could just be a swing and a miss. Empathies attempted.

So this is all pretty much theoretical, but very tightly woven strictly bounded protocols to be brought to production-- perhaps an accelerated alternative to perceive a much sooner ETA of 18months...

Maybe its moreso about reaching out to the right people about this "white paper" worthy research.

AFAIK, billions of dollars are poured into tennis mechanics at the highest level.

Introduce this to the right group of people, I truly can see this funded to play Janik Sinner where he would pay as a service to play against his worst nightmare.
