#13Big claims and zero code examples? No I'm not going to go digging in a repo without so much as a top-level overview of the approach
The demo is here. https://rawjssample.pages.dev/ I immediately see that it ~hijacks my back button~ fills my back-stack such that I can't use the back button normally. Doesn't look promising.
So it implements core SPA functionality?

#15There's a typographical error on the home page ("It's API design is complete and there are no known bugs" should use "Its"). I would've submitted a PR, but the link to the website repository actually links to a static site generator, not the website itself.

The modal when showing a single colour also suffers from backdrop stacking issues, which the back button navigation doesn't undo.
I guess rendering the UI as a function of state still has its merits.

When you click links it changes the URL, so the back button takes you to the previous URL.
I absolutely hate when pages hijack the back button, but this ain’t it.
