Just stop making websites (especially documentation) dark mode only, that's a pain. At least when it's the other way around you can easily use an extension to get dark mode, here you're stuck with sometimes unreadable text unless you manually tweak the CSS.

#232Off topic: this is the best landing page I've ever seen on a mobile device. Keep scrolling down for some surprises!
You can't even guess there is something below those 2 buttons.

I find this "everything old is new again" such a tiring take. Sure, you can do things you could already do in Rails, but without giving up on the things people adopted React for . Like client-side updates without full page refreshes. If you fool yourself into thinking that a few similarities to what you're used to means that there's nothing new to learn, you're missing out. (To be clear, I'm not saying that everythin…
I don't disagree, but saying that people adopted React because of things like "client-side updates without full page refreshes" kinda walks right into the GP's trap: doing it it was already possible with Rails several years before React, with PJAX and then Turbolinks. The reason people adopted React etc was not because of a few specific features, but rather because it was a completely different architecture with diff…
I was already having doubts about adding an example because I was afraid it would derail the discussion by focusing on the particulars of the example rather than the actual point. So I'll leave it at: sure, but that's irrelevant to the point.

Sounds like you just can't accept the fact that people like it.
Sounds like you can't respond to a simple question and prefer Ad hominem. "It's awesome" has never been a proper justification.
No, I don't need to justify anything here. There's no argument to be had. The point is that bryans is claiming the landing page is objectively bad and doesn't seem to accept that we obviously like it. A lot of people have told him why they do but he keeps arguing. No idea why you want to defend such a toxic person.

#235This seems interesting but the rendering bugs on the website don’t give me much confidence. https://ibb.co/DfNw2GV https://ibb.co/FgW3jQb
Also the docs don’t have scroll restoration when you use the browser back button. You’d think a framework that prides itself on using the web platform would have that working automatically.
Like it works when nobody broke scrolling through custom JS.

> I'm really glad I'm not working with UI/UX and project managers that you think would do that. And I'm glad that I don't work with your project managers, who apparently think that choosing frameworks based on a homepage's arbitrarily "cool" presentation is appropriate methodology. > Everything you stated is just your opinion (phrases like "anti-pattern" or "bad UX", "style over substance"), and that's fine. Yes, whe…
You have chosen a strange hill to die on. Just accept the fact that we like this (I love it!) and move on. You won't convince anyone with your lousy attitude and obnoxious arguments.
> You won't convince anyone with your lousy attitude and obnoxious arguments.
Well, except for the 50+ people who upvoted my comments and the dozens of people who made similar commentary about the website -- but I guess they don't count as real people because they don't agree with you?

the team behind remix probably has the biggest following in the react scene, so even without having any major differentiation (though I happen to think they do have) it's going to gain popularity.
I'm sure outside of my personal bubble this won't be an issue, but I've found the buzz generated from this announcement to be kind of off-putting. The sheer amount of promotion leading up to this announcement has been in my face now for weeks and kind of driving me nuts. That being said I see no reason to not welcome another competitor in this space... and it's free. I'm sure you are right and this will gain populari…
I get what you mean, the frontend dev community on Twitter seem childish and unnatural, spamming self gratification (don't know if it's the good term, basically trying to spread fake positivity all the time, trying to over talk about the inclusivity and woke social trends ) stuff and overusing using emojis.
I rarely check twitter but yesteday's Kent Dodds message section about a tweet announcing Remix's launch made me cringe.

It would be great if it let me scroll it! Elements suddenly becoming sticky and covering 60% of my screen and the scroll just...not working for 7 or so swipes there in the middle is a horrible UX. I'd be more forgiving on a 27" desktop monitor, but on a 5" mobile screen, this is borderline unusable.

You didn't convince anyone. They already agreed with you. Some people like it, some people don't but it's all subjective no matter how hard you try to prove otherwise.
Re: Remix – A framework focused on web fundamentals and modern UX
#240I remember the team had the idea of charging for the software but now I am seeing that they raised VC money. There is no question that this sort of company can be big (See Vercel) but I'm wondering why this decision was made?
They used to openly albeit implicitly mock open source software projects taking big VC money, by saying things along the lines of “we have a radical business model where we just charge people to use our product.” Noble, perhaps, and probably a good way to kickstart community good will, but the VC money is undoubtedly a much faster way to scale the fiscal size of the company!
That's what we call hypocrisy to summarize
