True. One needs to build it's own "router" if you will. But in practice that means writing functions that modify the URL (some pushState(url) and scrollTo(top)

True. One needs to build it's own "router" if you will. But in practice that means writing functions that modify the URL (some pushState(url) and scrollTo(top) stuff) and make them part of the primary function, so you can forget about it (I'm a functional programmer). Same with adding/substracting from the history stack. 1h of work each. Is that too much? It really just worked without much troubleshooting. Most trouble I've had was with cookies and cross-origin problems (or weird client requests).
