This does not kill React Router or TanStack Router. Both have open discussions about adopting the Navigation API as a backend: React Router's and TanStack Router's. They would sit on top of it rather than reimplement the History API workaround they currently maintain. The frameworks add value (nested routes, data loading, error boundaries) that the raw Navigation API does not. What the API kills is the need to pull in a router just to avoid full-page reloads on a content site. If your routing needs are modest (a blog, a docs site, a dashboard with a few views), the platform now has you covered.

Project mention: Show HN: Mirafold – Your Agent with Generative UI (Codex, Claude Code, Gemini) | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-08-07
Went through the README and saw that you are using Express. Not sure if you've tried it but Hono (https://hono.dev) is a really terrific app server framework that is really fast and can run on every major JS environment there is. If Express is working well (and it should be, it's great) no need to change but something that may be interesting to look at.

router
🤖 A client-first, server-capable, fully type-safe router and full-stack framework for the web (React and more).
Project mention: eridu-tech alternatives - AdonisJs Framework, Nest, trpc, orpc, and Next.js | libhunt.com/r/eridu-tech-core | 2026-08-07TanStack Start vs a framework‑agnostic backend. TanStack Start: - Excels at client rendering, SSR, routing, and a rich frontend ecosystem. - Ships its own server‑side APIs, server routes, and server functions. - Often the best starting point for shipping a web app quickly. - Backend logic locked into TanStack Start. - No built‑in, batteries-included backend infrastructure. eridu-tech: - Not a web or frontend framework — not a replacement for TanStack Start. - Complements TanStack Start — server routes and server functions can use cache, locks, queues, and schedulers. - Same backend logic moves between TanStack Start and a standalone API service or worker. - Add eridu‑tech for portable, testable server‑side infra.
