Hi there, I'm working with next and I want to know which is the preferred or good practice naming convention?

showing table of users
/user
/users

showing table of entries
/entry
/entries

I know it doesn't really matter but still what is better to follow so that i can maintain consistency across projects.

Reason being that /users/[id] when referencing one item makes more sense.

Yeah for api routes it make sense to go for plural but here i'm asking for ui based routes, should I open the page at /entries or /entry

I see no difference between the frontend which represents API responses and API endpoint conventions 🤷‍♂️
