Decimating your SEO by using javascript frameworks

A startup that I was previously consulting with recently made a very ridiculously stupid move. The website is a repository of individualized and PERSONAL content (think event reviews) and each review had its own url like so.

www.startupdomain.io/<event>/<commentid>

Apparently at some point in the past 18months they decided to move 100% to a single page app powered by angular and their urls now look like this.

www.startupdomain.io#<event>/<commentid>

When I left them google indexed at least 300,000 pages in their site, now google just indexes literally - thirteen.

Which is completely ridiculous. They have so much traffic inbound. Googling the name of any events they hosted used to bring them up, now they are nowhere in page 1.

    They probably paid a fortune for the upgrade, ha, ha.

    Live and learn.

    Give them time to notice the loss, then offer to fix it for a nice price + a stupidity fee of 20%. (You might have to not call it stupidity fee.)
