 * Hello team. Hope you’re well. I’m wondering on compatibility of this plugin with
   [SimplyStatic](https://wordpress.org/plugins/simply-static/). They have native
   integration with Algolia, but I’m partial to supporting open source whenever 
   I can. Thank you for making this software, and I look forward to giving it a 
   try on this SimplyStatic project.

 * Hi [@jamesjosephfinn](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jamesjosephfinn/) 
   
   We haven’t officially tested the plugin with it yet, so we can’t confirm full
   compatibility at this time. That said, if you decide to give it a try and run
   into anything unexpected, feel free to reach out — we’d be happy to take a look
   and help where we can.

 * Awesome, thank you; and will do! Based upon your reply, is it correct for me 
   to presume that the code you ship to the frontend communicates only with the 
   Typesense API; i.e., it doesn’t make requests dependent upon a dynamic connection
   to WP? [@digamberpradhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digamberpradhan/)

 * Yes – the output is just html – and js and css ofcourse.
   The output is determined
   by php – but once that’s done – if the js and css is enqueued technically it 
   should work.Does not make request to WP – just the initial html

 * [@digamberpradhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digamberpradhan/) very
   exciting and good news! I’ll be testing this soon in the Bricks+SimplyStatic 
   setup, and will report back. Based upon what you’ve said, I don’t anticipate 
   any issues, but we shall see.

 * [@digamberpradhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digamberpradhan/) Aside
   from having to write a simple function which hooks to `cm_typesense_data_before_entry`
   to filter the permalink prior to indexing, the plugin works like a charm in a
   SimplyStatic setup. I left a [5 star review](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/typesense-for-static-wordpress/)
   which has the details.
 * I have a question: Is there a way to customize the InstantSearch router? We need
   to utilize the router, which is a great feature, but the InstantSearch.js default
   URL format is absolutely not going to work for us. Can we pass a custom router
   config using something like `cm_typesense_additional_config` or `cm_typesense_routing`?
 * Or are we stuck having to override `history.pushState` and `history.replaceState`
   in the browser? The problem with that approach is then having to also handle 
   incoming requests server-side using `template_redirect`. A most cumbersome and
   brittle code pattern, and one which I would like to avoid.
 * I greatly appreciate any pointers you can provide in this regard.

 * Hello again, [@digamberpradhan](https://wordpress.org/support/users/digamberpradhan/)!
   I hope you’re doing well in this crazy world.
 * Quick question today: Could you please direct me to the repo which contains the
   source files? Hoping it’s available! That would be an immense help to me, and
   I would be most grateful.
 * Thanks in advance!
