## The idea behind the example
This example uses [next-routes](https://github.com/fridays/next-routes) for dynamic routing, which lets you define parameterized, named routes with express-style parameters matching.
It works similar to the [parameterized-routing](https://github.com/zeit/next.js/tree/master/examples/parameterized-routing) example and makes use of next.js [custom server and routing](https://github.com/zeit/next.js#custom-server-and-routing) possibilities.
