Somehow every other JS frontend framework manages to hook into the History API just fine?

What? They all butcher it. On a weekly basis I make the the mistake of clicking some link to a site and find I can't hit the back button to escape. Maybe this is technically the site developers' fault, not the library devs, but it's a lousy experience for users.

My favourite part is when you middle click the link to be opened in a new tab to be read later to find out that it opens a bunch of main pages or nothing at all. That’s a top level UX.
