#52Earlier quoted context omitted.
> If you look at this example[0] you'll see there's not a single useState, useEffect, etc. Sorry to point it out, but there is useRef, useEffect and a useUserData on lines 48, 53, and 47 respectively.
Ah i missed those cause this is different from the demo they showed. But the point still stands. There’s not a useDtate per form field which is how react normally handles forms
Hmm, you can easily use a normal form submit to pull field information from. We always want to do fancy things where we need the info while it is being changed though.

#53Maybe it's just me but the code at the top of the homepage is a bit confusing at first sight. I can kinda guess the conventions that hook stuff together but I wouldn't put it as a "welcome" message without some comments at a minimum.

#54I know this is low-value, but it always stuns me to see basic typos on a product’s landing page (lets —> let’s). Have the creators shown it to anyone else? Has nobody close to them told them about it? I don’t blame anyone for making a mistake - everyone does it, and I’m certainly no exception. But typos like this make a product feel much less professional and by extension less trustworthy. To me, good copy feels impo…
You're not the only one who has that kind of reaction. Proofread copy should be important everywhere, not just on the landing page, but this is literally in the first sentence after the initial headline.

Sure but on the other hand you have copy that has gone through five levels of managers OK-stamping it but only after fixing the errors and sanding down all sharp edges, your text churned into corporate yogurt that no one in their right mind would ever believe because it resembles FAANG speak too much.
I kind of like the odd error here and there. Makes me feel safe to at least try out their product.

#56One part of me likes this, it’s a framework built with many concepts I already use on my React apps on a DIY fashion. On the other hand I always have a bad feeling when there is too much magic under the hood… when magic don’t work in your favor you must turn to voodoo and that’s something I prefer to avoid in 2021.
Anyway I’ll give it a try on some side project, looks nice if you need something simple built fast (maybe with supabase or some of those new kids on the block)

#57I really wish there were frameworks that developed ways to plug in with your already favorite backend kit instead of solely isometric with Node. You couldn't pay me to give up Phoenix in Elixir for backend work but it does lock off a healthy amount of the neat things being done to make data loading on the frontend more optimal. Phoenix has LiveView + AlpineJS but I really don't want to give up React which still feels…
There's no strong requirement to use Node for your backend...your Remix codebase can fetch() data from anywhere in the `loader` function:

You might be interested in inertiajs: https://inertiajs.com/
It only technically is built for Rails and Laravel but reading the “spec” and the code I got it to work pretty quickly with a Rust backend.
It would be nice for more of these frontend niceties to be built around an API contract rather than a particular JS on the server implementation.

#59The best part of this is that someone took the time to explain how remix is different and why that can be good. I wish more projects would do something like this. There are plenty of tools I never learn about because no one bothers to explain them.

#60So as a 56yo "old school" LAMP-stack monkey, could someone please give me a quick rundown exactly what benefits would investing the mental energy (a non-trivial amount) and time (less an issue) give to someone in my ancient yet comfortable canvas Cons?
For sure next.js is an interesting framework and of course I use plenty of typescript in my projects to keep the UXs from feeling stale, but I have yet to see the overwhelming benefits that going all-in with something like this framework would give me overall, besides just the obvious one that I'm "keeping up with the cool kids"...
One think I do really like here is the way Remix is keeping things on the backend...I'll admit coming from the 1980s I'm much more comfortable working with backend paradigms, so this particular stack has caught my attention more than others and why I am particularly interested in hearing about its direct benefits (besides the obvious ones like "its not PHP" of course)
