modal vs page
A modal interrupts. A page is a place you can link to. If the user might refresh or share it, it is a page.
What is modal vs page?
A modal (dialog) blocks the current context for a short decision. A page has a URL, survives refresh, and can be opened in a new tab. Creating a substantial object usually wants a page or a route-backed panel. A confirm wants a dialog.
Why does modal vs page matter when vibe coding?
Models put entire editors in modals. Refresh loses the draft. The back button closes the browser. Name the URL.
How do you do modal vs page?
If it has more than a handful of fields or should be shareable, give it a route. Use a dialog for confirm and for tiny edits. Focus-trap dialogs. Pages get real titles.
How do you ask a model for modal vs page?
Make (editor) a page with a URL, not a modal. Use a modal only for (confirm). Refresh and back must behave. Do not put a multi-step flow in a dialog.
What goes wrong with modal vs page?
A modal on top of a modal. You lost the way back. One layer, or a page.
