> I’m dumbfounded no one has spoken up for React with a modern router like found. You're dumbfounded that developers aren't powering their companies' multi-million dollar websites with tools that have a bus factor of roughly one[1][2]? A couple years ago I was handed a web app built by a team that had used tools with low bus factors. Many of these tools had been abandoned only months after the team starting using them!

What do you mean by a "bus factor"? I'm assuming its related to the number of contributors / contributions over time, but I've never heard the term before. Edit ---- Oh! I get it now https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bus_factor

You’re right, of course. But that particular repo was one example. Yes that repo is brand new. But at the same time it’s the product of basically one person’s work. On the other hand you have these multi million dollar companies—if their tech stacks were the end all of stacks, wouldn’t they be able to accomplish what this lowly repo accomplishes? But they don’t. And why? Because this repo stands on the shoulders of many attempts and failures in routing with universal rendering, while GitHub and Stack Overflow are stuck in 2013, when people only rendered on the server, progressively enchanced, and back only kind of worked. Anyway there’s also react-router, which is a project with probably 10k stars. I didn’t cite it because I think it’s not as good as “found”. But it works and will get you back functionality that works in client rendering and server rendering. So if you’re looking for bus factor, react-router has got that in 2018.
