Which part breaks your back button?

On my browser (Firefox, on OSX) it loads /loading then /login. When I go back, that takes me back to /loading, which forwards me to /login again immediately.

Going back requires holding down the back button so I can skip that history record. Illustrated: https://imgur.com/a/zFaGw4a

(Quite a few sites screw this up. It's very annoying.)

This is great, thank you for sharing. We primarily test in Chrome which doesn't seem to display this for whatever reason. Should be an easy fix to remove the history for the loading page.

For what it's worth, the same happens in my Chrome.

(Maybe you're logged in and don't get the behavior because of that?)

Should be fixed now if you want to try again :)

I like how this whole thread highlights just one of the problems of SPA's. It's not exactly an endorsement!

on ios safari when I click that link, and then swipe back or press back, instead of showing me this hackernews thread it shows me that site again
