Help! Our React Routes are more confusing than a maze 😵

Hello there, friends!

I hope you are doing great! Over here, we’re trying to sort out our React routing and, frankly, it feels like we’re trying to solve a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded.

We’ve seen everything from React Router, which seems to have more versions than I have socks, to old-school server-side routing. And then there's stuff like Reach Router and hooks that sound cool but are as mysterious to us as the dark side of the moon.

Why we ask? There are about 20 million projects using React and only 40% of these use React Router. 👀 Before you ask, about 15% are using Nextjs. So... what are the other 45% doing?? We're curious!

How do you all handle this in your projects? Got a favorite method, or do you just throw darts at a board and pick one? 😄

Any funny fails or genius hacks you've got up your sleeve would be awesome to hear. We could use a few pointers.

Thanks a million!

Cheers.
