Why do I get a 404 after deploying my React app?
Because the host serves 404 for routes that are not files, since routing is client-side. Configure the host to redirect all routes to index.html, so React Router loads and handles the route.

Usually a build error, a wrong API URL, or a missing environment variable. Check the console and the Network tab. Often an error boundary is missing, so an unhandled error leaves the user staring at white.
Usually a wrong useEffect dependency array or a stale closure. Fix the dependency array with the hooks lint plugin, so the effect re-runs when the relevant values change and uses the latest values.
Because you used the array index as the key, so React reuses the wrong elements when the list changes. Use a stable unique id from your data as the key for every list item.
