I'm confused?

what do you mean?

symlinking a subroute in next.js.

just symlinking a folder into the app directory

ahh, IDK what that is, never did it, so imma sit this one out.

idk about directly symlinking use the os, but often times npm link is used in these sort of scenarios with a package

if thats not an acceptable solution

you could write a very basic script that just copies the files from the dir you're trying to link to your nextjs codebase everytime the target's files change

thanks thats roughly what i'm currently doing. just out of curiosity i don't see a reason why symlinks shouldn't work?

No clue sorry, I haven’t used them directly in a while

Always end up using the link functionality via the package manager

ah i see
