Stop Breaking the Web
summary
Argues that URLs are the core API of the web and that single‑page JavaScript apps lose sharing, bookmarking and navigation without them. Extracts Ember routing into two libraries, router.js + rout-recognizer, that map URL segments to handlers, support nested UI, and let the model hook return a promise so data loads before rendering. Shows lifecycle hooks (model → setup), supports async transitions (pause and resume), and claims this approach restores linkability and team-friendly component structure.
