Not sure why you gave up. All you need to do, is use query params: /todo?id=123 and use `const { id } = useSearchParams()` in your code. Yes, the urls won't be that pretty, but I don't know if this is a road block. I have a NextJS webapp up and running that is 100% SPA (no SSR, full static export) and uses a C#/.NET REST Backend for data [0]. Works (almost) flawlessly.

No. I disagree, you have to refactor all the pages from using [pathId] folder pattern and change all the links including switching to useSearchParams. It's just a huge change, especially if I want to keep the old routes in my web app.

Yes it would, and I can see with an existing app that it is work. But we are probably talking less than a days work? Not even using AI, but this is straightforward string replacements.

Right. So a custom build system which changes the built pages from dynamic path folders to named folders in a day. No bugs. Sure. Also I serve rich-text content with links so those gotta be rewritten as well.
