Client-side router does not correctly update RSS link in <head> on navigation

Open simevidas opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

Describe the bug

The <link rel="alternate" type="application/rss+xml"> element in <head> is not correctly updated when the user navigates the website https://dev.to/.

To Reproduce

  1. Open https://dev.to/dashboard
  2. Using the browser’s devtools, observe that there is no <link rel="alternate"> element in <head>
  3. Click one of the Followers/Following… tabs in the side bar and then click any user to open their user profile page
  4. Observe that there is still no <link rel="alternate"> element in <head>
  5. Click the browser’s reload button to reload the page (this reboots the web app)
  6. Observe that there now is a <link rel="alternate"> element in <head> that points to that user’s RSS feed

Expected behavior

In step 4, the user’s RSS feed <link> should already be present in <head>. The site’s client-side router should add it during the navigation.
