it does, it's a nextjs app so there's a bunch of top level pages that work as you'd expect. The issue is that we're trying to be a real company, those pages have nested logic, multiple views, sub navigation, search, filtering, wizards, all of which are in a cascade of react hooks because AI is obsessed with self-contained hooks. none of that state is linkable.

What i learned, by fire, is that nextjs works well with its nested routing and layout-to-hold-context magic. it's quite nifty but it's not free and not obvious, you have to design for it. I can't state enough that AI will ship a billion hooks, it loves hooks for self-contained state. My colleague made a good point that that style is a feature; it limits blast radius of N features all building on top of each other.

Yeah i had to move on from there.
