The reason I asked for the URL examples is because I wanted to understand the nature of the dynamic part. I was curious if maybe the kind of need that you have from the parser couldn't be solved without flags. Why couldn't you just trim the url in the parser function? On Tue, Sep 13, 2016

Ok, the solution would look like this; but not sure if it's ok to create a new parser every time the addressbar changes... https://github.com/aische/navigation/blob/master/src/Navigation.elm (new function: programWithFlags' )

That's a good idea. It does not play well with the architecture of the program I was working on, but I will investigate it. Thank you! BTW, I just realized, that my original suggestion would not work, because the parser is used at two places; in the init-function it has access to the flags,

Hello everyone, Elm is great, and version 0.17 is wonderfull. Most of the time, programming in Elm feels like exactly how you would like to build things. A big thank-you to all the people who made it happen! However, I stumbled over two litte things that could be improved. One concerns the
