I’m setting up an app that has a static site for a frontend and a backend api. How do I setup the HTTP routes properly?
I have the static site’s HTTP route set to “/” and the backend’s set to “/backend” but when I visit “/some-route” it 404s instead of letting my static site’s router kick in. How do I set it up so that doesn’t happen?

Okay I had my custom page set to catch all and not error, switching to error fixed it.
