They say, every day, a new JavaScript framework is born, and this day in history is no exception.
Yesterday, the team behind React Router released their new framework, Remix, as a free and open source project.
To be fair, this framework has actually been around for over a year, but you probably didn't use it because they were charging $250 for a license to use it.
And that's actually now a very low price.
Fortunately for us cheap developers, they changed their business model.
It's now free and open source with an MIT In today's video, you'll get to feel the experience of a premium JavaScript framework.
We'll compare it to other React based frameworks like Next.
Js s in Gatsby.
And most importantly, try to figure out when and why you would want to use Remix.
If you're new here, like and subscribe, and stay tuned for a special surprise video this Friday with a new course announcement and discount.
First of all, what is Remix, and why would I wanna use it?
It's a React based framework that allows you to render code on the server, which tends to result in better performance and search engine optimization, as opposed to using React only on the client side.
This is nothing new, and a problem that's already been solved by frameworks like Next.
Js.
However, Remix goes about it in a slightly different way that I think you'll find very interesting.
It actually feels kind of old school in a way that might feel familiar to a HP or Ruby on Rails developer.
The first interesting point is that it only does server side rendering.
It doesn't do static site generation or incremental static regeneration like Next.
Js does.
That's kind of interesting because jamstack applications that use static generation have been very popular in recent years, and also tend to be the fastest time to first bite when it comes to performance.
And they're really easy to deploy because you're only dealing with static files.
The main drawback though is that you have to rebuild those pages whenever the data changes.
With Remix, you're not building jamstack applications.
It goes all in on server rendering, which means that you'll have to have an actual server to run the application.
But at the same time, it'll be much more well suited for handling dynamic data.
To me, it looks like Remix would be ideal for an application that has a lot of pages, and all those pages rely on some dynamic data that lives in a database somewhere, but it might be overkill if you're just building a blog that you post to once a year.
Let's go ahead and initialize a new project from the landline, and you'll notice how it does this cool rainbow animation.
Totally unnecessary, but it tricks my brain into thinking this framework must be really good.
As we set up the project, notice how it provides a bunch of different back end servers that can help streamline deployment.
I'm going to choose Express, then when we open the project, you'll notice that we're met with a fairly simple file structure.
In the server directory, we have an Express JS app.
The only thing it requires from Remix is the create request handler function.
This function takes an incoming request from user and renders the React code on the server with Remix, and then sends a response back to the user.
It's also worth noting that Remix doesn't necessarily need Node.
Js and could work on other run times like Deno.
And you'll also notice the Express app is configured with caching, telling the server to send a cache response unless the underlying data has changed.
That's pretty cool, but all the interesting stuff is going on in the app directory.
Here, we have a routes directory and any component inside of it will be mapped to a URL based on the file structure, which is the exact same way that it works in Next JS.
One minor difference is that dynamic routes start with a dollar sign versus brackets in Next ES.
But there is one very important difference that could be a game changer for certain types of apps, and that's a feature called nested routes.
Whenever you have a route nested under a parent, the child will automatically inherit the UI of the parent.
If you've ever used a framework like Angular or Ember.
Js, you should to recognize this pattern.
Here's how it works.
You have a parent component, like in this case, the about page, then somewhere in the UI, you have a router outlet.
This outlet that will be replaced with a child component based on the URL you navigate to.
In this case, we have an about directory with an index file inside of That component will be rendered in the outlet when we go to the about URL.
But if we add another component here, like, woah, dude, it will be rendered to that same outlet when we navigate to the woah URL.
That means when you define a child route, you only need to think about one small part of the UI as opposed to building an entirely new page.
Now, that could be really cool for certain types of applications, especially something with a complex dashboard, because you can also create your own custom error boundaries, which means that if a child component fails, it will render an error message there and not nuke the entire page.
But in other cases, you may not want your child to inherit the parent's UI.
In which case, you can opt out by moving your file somewhere else and creating a file path with periods in between the segments.
Now that we know how the basic routing system works, Let's talk about data fetching.
In any given route, you export a React component for your front end UI, but you can also export a function called loader, to fetch data on the server for that component.
The loader function will only be executed on the server.
This is almost exactly how it works in Next JS with get server side props.
The main difference though, is that instead of passing props to the component, Remix provides a hook called useLoaderData to access whatever data you fetched on the server.
It's also worth noting that when it comes to data fetching, everything is based on the browser fetch API.
It actually polyfills the fetch API on a server, so you can access fetch inside of your loader function just like you were working in the browser.
Reading data from your server is essential, but another unique way that Remix stands out is that it also allows you to write to your server, made possible with a new old idea about how to work with HTML forms.
Normally, when dealing with a form in React, you bind to the on submit event, and then prevent default to write a custom function to handle the form submission.
Remix takes a more old school approach by providing you with a form component that gets submitted like a normal form.
In other words, you don't need to prevent default.
What you do instead is define an action function that will run on your server.
This function will have access to the values in the form, which you can then use to update your database.
The action function returns a response, which can then be accessed in the front end UI with a hook, and that could result in a far more simplified round trip when it comes to writing data across the entire stack.
In addition, it provides another hook called use transition that allows you to get the state of the action, which could be used to display a loading spinner while the update is working on the server, or to perform optimistic updates to update the UI before the server is finished making its updates.
On the surface, this looks really cool, but I'm a little skeptical about how well it would scale complexity.
I know from experience how insanely complicated forms can get, and I'm curious how this approach would handle client side validation, nested form fields, auto save features, and things like that.
Now, taking a step back to the big picture, I think the really interesting features that Remix offers are nested routing and actions for handling form submission.
There are a lot of other minor differences, like for meta tags, you export a function, instead of using the head component like you would in Next.
When it comes to riling, Remix doesn't support CSS modules, and there are some caveats if you're using a CSS and JS library.
However, you can still scope your styles to like pages by placing them in the app directory.
Overall, I'd say that it does have everything in place that you would need to build a serious application.
Another question you may have is where do React server components come in.
Remember, server components are still experimental in React 18.
If you watch my next 12 video, you'll know that server components open in the door to a bunch of cool new features and ways to simplify our code.
I'm not sure if Remix has plans to use them, but in their loader functions, they just return JSON.
Run.
In theory, a loader function could also return a server component, but I'm not sure if it would make much of a difference at that point, because you can also disable JavaScript on a Remix component.
In other words, they both allow you to ship 0 JavaScript to the client.
In my opinion, I kind of like how Next.
Js is embracing the new React 18 features, but with Remix, so you have a lot more framework specific abstractions.
There's nothing wrong with that.
Frameworks are supposed to create their own abstractions to make your life easier.
But, in general, I think it's better to embrace what's available in the core framework.
Another good question is how will Remix separate you from your money?
Initially, it was offered as a paid framework, which is a very unusual business model.
It's hard to justify paying for a JavaScript framework when there are plenty of battle tested solutions out there.
I'm not sure what their plans are, I'm only speculating here, but I'm guessing they'll offer a paid hosting service following a model similar to Vercel or Netlify.
You pay them, they pay AWS for infrastructure until they can get enough customers to be acquired.
It's a lot easier to lose money and get acquired, versus trying to sell a JavaScript framework.
To summarize, I think Remix definitely looks like an awesome option for building full stack React apps.
The only thing more impressive than the framework itself is their marketing game.
The Remix landing page is one hell of a sales pitch, but that's what you need to stand out in the ruthless world of JavaScript frameworks.
Personally, I'm still a lot more excited about Next 12, and that's likely the option I'll go with when building the next version of the Fireship IO website.
But it's good to see a competitor to Next.
Js because it's kind of been dominating the space for a while.
Competition is always a win for independent developers.
There's also a of other exciting things going on in the space.
Like, Rich Harris, the creator of Svelte, recently joined Vercel to work on Svelte full time.
And, I can pretty much guarantee you, that in SvelteKit is going to be absolutely awesome in the future.
Then, you also have Nuxt 3 for Vue, which also looks incredible, and then you have frameworks like Blits that build on top of Next.
Js that provide additional tools for building database backed applications.
The bottom line is that there's a ton of stuff going on in the server side rendering space right now, and Remix is definitely an option worth checking out.
But, I'm curious to know what you think, so let me know in the comments.
Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next one.

Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next one.
They say, every day, a new JavaScript framework is born, and this day in history is no exception. Yesterday, the team behind React Router released their new framework, Remix, as a free and open source project. To be fair, this framework has actually been around for over a year, but you probably didn't use it because they were charging $250 for a license to use it. And that's actually now a very low price. Fortunately for us cheap developers, they changed their business model. It's now free and open source with an MIT In today's video, you'll get to feel the experience of a premium JavaScript framework. We'll compare it to other React based frameworks like Next. Js s in Gatsby. And most importantly, try to figure out when and why you would want to use Remix. If you're new here, like and subscribe, and stay tuned for a special surprise video this Friday with a new course announcement and discount. First of all, what is Remix, and why would I wanna use it? It's a React based framework that allows you to render code on the server, which tends to result in better performance and search engine optimization, as opposed to using React only on the client side. This is nothing new, and a problem that's already been solved by frameworks like Next. Js. However, Remix goes about it in a slightly different way that I think you'll find very interesting. It actually feels kind of old school in a way that might feel familiar to a HP or Ruby on Rails developer. The first interesting point is that it only does server side rendering. It doesn't do static site generation or incremental static regeneration like Next. Js does. That's kind of interesting because jamstack applications that use static generation have been very popular in recent years, and also tend to be the fastest time to first bite when it comes to performance. And they're really easy to deploy because you're only dealing with static files. The main drawback though is that you have to rebuild those pages whenever the data changes. With Remix, you're not building jamstack applications. It goes all in on server rendering, which means that you'll have to have an actual server to run the application. But at the same time, it'll be much more well suited for handling dynamic data. To me, it looks like Remix would be ideal for an application that has a lot of pages, and all those pages rely on some dynamic data that lives in a database somewhere, but it might be overkill if you're just building a blog that you post to once a year. Let's go ahead and initialize a new project from the landline, and you'll notice how it does this cool rainbow animation. Totally unnecessary, but it tricks my brain into thinking this framework must be really good. As we set up the project, notice how it provides a bunch of different back end servers that can help streamline deployment. I'm going to choose Express, then when we open the project, you'll notice that we're met with a fairly simple file structure. In the server directory, we have an Express JS app. The only thing it requires from Remix is the create request handler function. This function takes an incoming request from user and renders the React code on the server with Remix, and then sends a response back to the user. It's also worth noting that Remix doesn't necessarily need Node. Js and could work on other run times like Deno. And you'll also notice the Express app is configured with caching, telling the server to send a cache response unless the underlying data has changed. That's pretty cool, but all the interesting stuff is going on in the app directory. Here, we have a routes directory and any component inside of it will be mapped to a URL based on the file structure, which is the exact same way that it works in Next JS. One minor difference is that dynamic routes start with a dollar sign versus brackets in Next ES. But there is one very important difference that could be a game changer for certain types of apps, and that's a feature called nested routes. Whenever you have a route nested under a parent, the child will automatically inherit the UI of the parent. If you've ever used a framework like Angular or Ember. Js, you should to recognize this pattern. Here's how it works. You have a parent component, like in this case, the about page, then somewhere in the UI, you have a router outlet. This outlet that will be replaced with a child component based on the URL you navigate to. In this case, we have an about directory with an index file inside of That component will be rendered in the outlet when we go to the about URL. But if we add another component here, like, woah, dude, it will be rendered to that same outlet when we navigate to the woah URL. That means when you define a child route, you only need to think about one small part of the UI as opposed to building an entirely new page. Now, that could be really cool for certain types of applications, especially something with a complex dashboard, because you can also create your own custom error boundaries, which means that if a child component fails, it will render an error message there and not nuke the entire page. But in other cases, you may not want your child to inherit the parent's UI. In which case, you can opt out by moving your file somewhere else and creating a file path with periods in between the segments. Now that we know how the basic routing system works, Let's talk about data fetching. In any given route, you export a React component for your front end UI, but you can also export a function called loader, to fetch data on the server for that component. The loader function will only be executed on the server. This is almost exactly how it works in Next JS with get server side props. The main difference though, is that instead of passing props to the component, Remix provides a hook called useLoaderData to access whatever data you fetched on the server. It's also worth noting that when it comes to data fetching, everything is based on the browser fetch API. It actually polyfills the fetch API on a server, so you can access fetch inside of your loader function just like you were working in the browser. Reading data from your server is essential, but another unique way that Remix stands out is that it also allows you to write to your server, made possible with a new old idea about how to work with HTML forms. Normally, when dealing with a form in React, you bind to the on submit event, and then prevent default to write a custom function to handle the form submission. Remix takes a more old school approach by providing you with a form component that gets submitted like a normal form. In other words, you don't need to prevent default. What you do instead is define an action function that will run on your server. This function will have access to the values in the form, which you can then use to update your database. The action function returns a response, which can then be accessed in the front end UI with a hook, and that could result in a far more simplified round trip when it comes to writing data across the entire stack. In addition, it provides another hook called use transition that allows you to get the state of the action, which could be used to display a loading spinner while the update is working on the server, or to perform optimistic updates to update the UI before the server is finished making its updates. On the surface, this looks really cool, but I'm a little skeptical about how well it would scale complexity. I know from experience how insanely complicated forms can get, and I'm curious how this approach would handle client side validation, nested form fields, auto save features, and things like that. Now, taking a step back to the big picture, I think the really interesting features that Remix offers are nested routing and actions for handling form submission. There are a lot of other minor differences, like for meta tags, you export a function, instead of using the head component like you would in Next. When it comes to riling, Remix doesn't support CSS modules, and there are some caveats if you're using a CSS and JS library. However, you can still scope your styles to like pages by placing them in the app directory. Overall, I'd say that it does have everything in place that you would need to build a serious application. Another question you may have is where do React server components come in. Remember, server components are still experimental in React 18. If you watch my next 12 video, you'll know that server components open in the door to a bunch of cool new features and ways to simplify our code. I'm not sure if Remix has plans to use them, but in their loader functions, they just return JSON. Run. In theory, a loader function could also return a server component, but I'm not sure if it would make much of a difference at that point, because you can also disable JavaScript on a Remix component. In other words, they both allow you to ship 0 JavaScript to the client. In my opinion, I kind of like how Next. Js is embracing the new React 18 features, but with Remix, so you have a lot more framework specific abstractions. There's nothing wrong with that. Frameworks are supposed to create their own abstractions to make your life easier. But, in general, I think it's better to embrace what's available in the core framework. Another good question is how will Remix separate you from your money? Initially, it was offered as a paid framework, which is a very unusual business model. It's hard to justify paying for a JavaScript framework when there are plenty of battle tested solutions out there. I'm not sure what their plans are, I'm only speculating here, but I'm guessing they'll offer a paid hosting service following a model similar to Vercel or Netlify. You pay them, they pay AWS for infrastructure until they can get enough customers to be acquired. It's a lot easier to lose money and get acquired, versus trying to sell a JavaScript framework. To summarize, I think Remix definitely looks like an awesome option for building full stack React apps. The only thing more impressive than the framework itself is their marketing game. The Remix landing page is one hell of a sales pitch, but that's what you need to stand out in the ruthless world of JavaScript frameworks. Personally, I'm still a lot more excited about Next 12, and that's likely the option I'll go with when building the next version of the Fireship IO website. But it's good to see a competitor to Next. Js because it's kind of been dominating the space for a while. Competition is always a win for independent developers. There's also a of other exciting things going on in the space.

Then, you also have Nuxt 3 for Vue, which also looks incredible, and then you have frameworks like Blits that build on top of Next. Js that provide additional tools for building database backed applications. The bottom line is that there's a ton of stuff going on in the server side rendering space right now, and Remix is definitely an option worth checking out. But, I'm curious to know what you think, so let me know in the comments. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next one.

The speakers discuss the use of a new JavaScript framework called Remix for better performance and search engine optimization, as well as building dynamic routes and creating a new project. They also touch on the process of creating a React app using the Express JS app, including the creation request handler function and the use of a cache response. Remix's approach to data fetching and the use of a new old method for writing to the server are discussed, along with the use of a different method for writing to the front end UI and functions. The speakers emphasize the importance of writing to the server and the use of a new old idea for writing to the front end UI. They also mention other developers in the server side and offer to recommend them.
Remix is a NEW JavaScript framework you MUST try
They say, every day, a new JavaScript framework is born, and this day in history is no exception. Yesterday, the team behind React Router released their new framework, Remix, as a free and open source project. To be fair, this framework has actually been around for over a year, but you probably didn't use it because they were charging $250 for a license to use it. And that's actually now a very low price. Fortunately for us cheap developers, they changed their business model. It's now free and open source with an MIT In today's video, you'll get to feel the experience of a premium JavaScript framework. We'll compare it to other React based frameworks like Next. Js s in Gatsby. And most importantly, try to figure out when and why you would want to use Remix. If you're new here, like and subscribe, and stay tuned for a special surprise video this Friday with a new course announcement and discount. First of all, what is Remix, and why would I wanna use it? It's a React based framework that allows you to render code on the server, which tends to result in better performance and search engine optimization, as opposed to using React only on the client side. This is nothing new, and a problem that's already been solved by frameworks like Next. Js. However, Remix goes about it in a slightly different way that I think you'll find very interesting. It actually feels kind of old school in a way that might feel familiar to a HP or Ruby on Rails developer. The first interesting point is that it only does server side rendering. It doesn't do static site generation or incremental static regeneration like Next. Js does. That's kind of interesting because jamstack applications that use static generation have been very popular in recent years, and also tend to be the fastest time to first bite when it comes to performance. And they're really easy to deploy because you're only dealing with static files. The main drawback though is that you have to rebuild those pages whenever the data changes. With Remix, you're not building jamstack applications. It goes all in on server rendering, which means that you'll have to have an actual server to run the application. But at the same time, it'll be much more well suited for handling dynamic data. To me, it looks like Remix would be ideal for an application that has a lot of pages, and all those pages rely on some dynamic data that lives in a database somewhere, but it might be overkill if you're just building a blog that you post to once a year. Let's go ahead and initialize a new project from the landline, and you'll notice how it does this cool rainbow animation. Totally unnecessary, but it tricks my brain into thinking this framework must be really good. As we set up the project, notice how it provides a bunch of different back end servers that can help streamline deployment. I'm going to choose Express, then when we open the project, you'll notice that we're met with a fairly simple file structure. In the server directory, we have an Express JS app. The only thing it requires from Remix is the create request handler function. This function takes an incoming request from user and renders the React code on the server with Remix, and then sends a response back to the user. It's also worth noting that Remix doesn't necessarily need Node. Js and could work on other run times like Deno. And you'll also notice the Express app is configured with caching, telling the server to send a cache response unless the underlying data has changed. That's pretty cool, but all the interesting stuff is going on in the app directory. Here, we have a routes directory and any component inside of it will be mapped to a URL based on the file structure, which is the exact same way that it works in Next JS. One minor difference is that dynamic routes start with a dollar sign versus brackets in Next ES. But there is one very important difference that could be a game changer for certain types of apps, and that's a feature called nested routes. Whenever you have a route nested under a parent, the child will automatically inherit the UI of the parent. If you've ever used a framework like Angular or Ember. Js, you should to recognize this pattern. Here's how it works. You have a parent component, like in this case, the about page, then somewhere in the UI, you have a router outlet. This outlet that will be replaced with a child component based on the URL you navigate to. In this case, we have an about directory with an index file inside of That component will be rendered in the outlet when we go to the about URL. But if we add another component here, like, woah, dude, it will be rendered to that same outlet when we navigate to the woah URL. That means when you define a child route, you only need to think about one small part of the UI as opposed to building an entirely new page. Now, that could be really cool for certain types of applications, especially something with a complex dashboard, because you can also create your own custom error boundaries, which means that if a child component fails, it will render an error message there and not nuke the entire page. But in other cases, you may not want your child to inherit the parent's UI. In which case, you can opt out by moving your file somewhere else and creating a file path with periods in between the segments. Now that we know how the basic routing system works, Let's talk about data fetching. In any given route, you export a React component for your front end UI, but you can also export a function called loader, to fetch data on the server for that component. The loader function will only be executed on the server. This is almost exactly how it works in Next JS with get server side props. The main difference though, is that instead of passing props to the component, Remix provides a hook called useLoaderData to access whatever data you fetched on the server. It's also worth noting that when it comes to data fetching, everything is based on the browser fetch API. It actually polyfills the fetch API on a server, so you can access fetch inside of your loader function just like you were working in the browser. Reading data from your server is essential, but another unique way that Remix stands out is that it also allows you to write to your server, made possible with a new old idea about how to work with HTML forms. Normally, when dealing with a form in React, you bind to the on submit event, and then prevent default to write a custom function to handle the form submission. Remix takes a more old school approach by providing you with a form component that gets submitted like a normal form. In other words, you don't need to prevent default. What you do instead is define an action function that will run on your server. This function will have access to the values in the form, which you can then use to update your database. The action function returns a response, which can then be accessed in the front end UI with a hook, and that could result in a far more simplified round trip when it comes to writing data across the entire stack. In addition, it provides another hook called use transition that allows you to get the state of the action, which could be used to display a loading spinner while the update is working on the server, or to perform optimistic updates to update the UI before the server is finished making its updates. On the surface, this looks really cool, but I'm a little skeptical about how well it would scale complexity. I know from experience how insanely complicated forms can get, and I'm curious how this approach would handle client side validation, nested form fields, auto save features, and things like that. Now, taking a step back to the big picture, I think the really interesting features that Remix offers are nested routing and actions for handling form submission. There are a lot of other minor differences, like for meta tags, you export a function, instead of using the head component like you would in Next. When it comes to riling, Remix doesn't support CSS modules, and there are some caveats if you're using a CSS and JS library. However, you can still scope your styles to like pages by placing them in the app directory. Overall, I'd say that it does have everything in place that you would need to build a serious application. Another question you may have is where do React server components come in. Remember, server components are still experimental in React 18. If you watch my next 12 video, you'll know that server components open in the door to a bunch of cool new features and ways to simplify our code. I'm not sure if Remix has plans to use them, but in their loader functions, they just return JSON. Run. In theory, a loader function could also return a server component, but I'm not sure if it would make much of a difference at that point, because you can also disable JavaScript on a Remix component. In other words, they both allow you to ship 0 JavaScript to the client. In my opinion, I kind of like how Next. Js is embracing the new React 18 features, but with Remix, so you have a lot more framework specific abstractions. There's nothing wrong with that. Frameworks are supposed to create their own abstractions to make your life easier. But, in general, I think it's better to embrace what's available in the core framework. Another good question is how will Remix separate you from your money? Initially, it was offered as a paid framework, which is a very unusual business model. It's hard to justify paying for a JavaScript framework when there are plenty of battle tested solutions out there. I'm not sure what their plans are, I'm only speculating here, but I'm guessing they'll offer a paid hosting service following a model similar to Vercel or Netlify. You pay them, they pay AWS for infrastructure until they can get enough customers to be acquired. It's a lot easier to lose money and get acquired, versus trying to sell a JavaScript framework. To summarize, I think Remix definitely looks like an awesome option for building full stack React apps. The only thing more impressive than the framework itself is their marketing game. The Remix landing page is one hell of a sales pitch, but that's what you need to stand out in the ruthless world of JavaScript frameworks. Personally, I'm still a lot more excited about Next 12, and that's likely the option I'll go with when building the next version of the Fireship IO website. But it's good to see a competitor to Next. Js because it's kind of been dominating the space for a while. Competition is always a win for independent developers. There's also a of other exciting things going on in the space. Like, Rich Harris, the creator of Svelte, recently joined Vercel to work on Svelte full time. And, I can pretty much guarantee you, that in SvelteKit is going to be absolutely awesome in the future. Then, you also have Nuxt 3 for Vue, which also looks incredible, and then you have frameworks like Blits that build on top of Next. Js that provide additional tools for building database backed applications. The bottom line is that there's a ton of stuff going on in the server side rendering space right now, and Remix is definitely an option worth checking out. But, I'm curious to know what you think, so let me know in the comments. Thanks for watching, and I will see you in the next one.

        Generate the video : They say, every day, a new JavaScript framework is born, and this day in history is no exception. Yesterday, the team behind React Router released their new framework, Remix, as a free and open source project. To be fair, this framework has actually been around for over a year, but you probably didn't use it because they were charging $250 for a license to use it. And that's actually now a very low price. Fortunately for us cheap developers, they changed their business model. It's now free and open source with an MIT In today's video, you'll get to feel the experience of a premium JavaScript framework. We'll compare it to other React based frameworks like Next. Js s in Gatsby. And most importantly, try to figure out when and why you would want to use Remix. If you're new here, like and subscribe, and stay tuned for a special surprise video this Friday with a new course announcement and discount. First of all, what is Remix, and why would I wanna use it? It's a React based framework that allows you to render code on the server, which tends to result in better performance and search engine optimization, as opposed to using React only on the client side. This is nothing new, and a problem that's already been solved by frameworks like Next. Js. However, Remix goes about it in a slightly different way that I think you'll find very interesting. It actually feels kind of old school in a way that might feel familiar to a HP or Ruby on Rails developer. The first interesting point is that it only does server side rendering. It doesn't do static site generation or incremental static regeneration like Next. Js does. That's kind of interesting because jamstack applications that use static generation have been very popular in recent years, and also tend to be the fastest time to first bite when it comes to performance. And they're really easy to deploy because you're only dealing with static files. The main drawback though is that you have to rebuild those pages whenever the data changes. With Remix, you're not building jamstack applications. It goes all in on server rendering, which means that you'll have to have an actual server to run the application. But at the same time, it'll be much more well suited for handling dynamic data. To me, it looks like Remix would be ideal for an application that has a lot of pages, and all those pages rely on some dynamic data that lives in a database somewhere, but it might be overkill if you're just building a blog that you post to once a year.
