Laws can be changed, and so can their interpretation. It seems the real fix is nothing short of a clearly-written constitutional amendment. Even then, compare the search and seizure amendment to civil forfeiture...

React is so far from "simple" it's not funny, then to throw nextjs in there too... For instance, I find vuejs to be way simpler as a non-frontend dev, and that's way overkill for what I'm interpreting the OP to want

This reminds me of the first time I used curb-side pickup at a DairyQueen that had opened during the pandemic. I followed the directions in the app, parked at a designated spot with clear signage, marked myself as there, and... nothing. Fin
