Over the past months, the product pages evolved fast — new features, layout changes, experiments. And somewhere along the way… the breadcrumb system turned into spaghetti.
Some breadcrumbs were inside the layout.
Some were hard-coded in individual pages.
Some didn’t follow the same logic at all.
Everything looked fine to the user. But inside the codebase? It was messy, redundant, and painful to maintain.
So today, I paused “new features” and spent the entire day refactoring breadcrumbs — making them consistent, unified, and owned by one source of truth.
No one outside will notice it.
But the code is now cleaner, future-proof, and I can sleep better.
Not all progress is visible. And sometimes, the most “invisible” work is what keeps a product from breaking later.
