Anyone currently using Remix in a production app? Read through the docs and it seems pretty interesting. Can't really get a sense for how stable it is though.

Anyone currently using Remix in a production app? Read through the docs and it seems pretty interesting. Can't really get a sense for how stable it is though. I know from prior use of React Router, the maintainers love the big rewrites between major version numbers.

Mix feeling of this Correlation: React Router -> Remix Redux -> RSC Snowpack -> Astro "This time, we will make it right" kind of feeling.

  What’s RSC? Edit – I think I found it: RSC is React Server Components. Per React’s December 2020 blog post https://reactjs.org/blog/2020/12/21/data-fetching-with-react-server-components.html https://reactjs.org/blog/2020/12/21/data-fetching-with-react... and June 2022 blog post https://reactjs.org/blog/2022/06/15/react-labs-what-we-have-been-working-on-june-2022.html https://reactjs.org/blog/2022/06/15/react-labs-what-we-have-..., the technology is still in development. Searches like “RSC JavaScript” and “RSC Redux” didn’t turn up anything. I only found the term “React Server Components” in the comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29994621 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29994621 while reading discussion of a January 2022 blog post “Remix vs Next.js”.

    I hear. There's quite many kool-aid words in this area, that keeps coming up. "Island", "partial hydration", "isomorphic", without given context it's just non-sense. Even experienced developers hearing "SSR" would wonder .. wait what, why are you bringing up this obvious "server-sided rendering" .. turns out javascript folks treat it like something no one haven't ever done before. It's all confusing.

Yes. The use of loaders and actions blurs the lines between client and server. It's really productive. There are a few gaps that need filling, one that comes to mind is internationalisation [1] I am very surprised that NextJS has left it so long to consider mutations - they're apparently coming up with an RFC on that but it seems to be somewhat behind closed doors.

  I agree, the API on remix seems awesome

Yeah we use it. It has been fantastic. Having a mutation story is an absolute game changer for productivity

I built a status page service (https://hackernews.onlineornot.com/ https://hackernews.onlineornot.com/) on Remix, I find the data fetching patterns (and SEO) make a hell of a lot more sense than Next.js
