@aescling there appear to be; they’re a bit different design

@noelle @millihertz could also be history.pushState() javascript, which is designed to add useful navigation to single page web apps (like mastodon), but on many websites is used in such a buggy manner that it just breaks history navigation instead

@aescling returns a new object with the same enumerable, string‐typed keys as obj, but with the values mapped according to the function mapValue

i hereby liberate you
