Hey y'all, David here. You signed up for my newsletter at programmingarehard.com. I'm writing to let you know I've just published a new post about avoiding `navigate(-1)`, or navigating back in the history stack. `navigate(-1)` is really easy to use but comes with some wonky behavior. You'll learn how to properly do "back" links in your application by checking out my latest post.

You can read it about it here: Failure to Launch (A Cautionary Shopify App Tale) Hope it's enlightening and that you have a productive Tuesday. ✌️ David
