It’s basically a way to have stack navigation on the web, so you can keep the context behind the content it spawned. This is used all the time in native apps, so why not on web?

It seems so basic but it’s not straight forward at all to implement in a consistent way across browsers. After trying for a while myself, and not wanting to sink days into it, I’ve given up on finding the perfect solution for now. Going to try the 4th step here, but I believe there’s always a new modal bug waiting to be discovered.

I guess I just don’t understand the full screen part. I get why modules can be good but even in a native app you have some reference that you’re still on the same screen. Maybe I’m missing something still...
