Well client side routing is fundamentally broken unless you do serve a 200 and the index

  You only have to serve a 200 and the index for valid routes to have frontend routing working. The complaint is serving a 200 for invalid routes, which breaks all kinds of things and violates web standards.

    Indeed, for a cost-effective approach with a static host, why not generate placeholder HTML files for all valid routes at compile time? Alternatively, using Astro or a similar tool would be a wise choice :)

      This isn’t really feasible, think about how dynamic routes can be? Can you generate a route for every ID of a thing?

        I have actually seen this approach for SSG. You define a function to get all IDs, then the framework renders all of the pages using those.

          Well you could plausibly do this with nano-web, simply disable SPA_MODE and generate your routes in this manner.
