Aren't Remix and Hydrogen supposed to fill the same role ? Despite what Remix's creators try to argue, for me Remix is great for low interactivity website like e-commerce website, even doing a simple client-side request without refresh is a pain in Remix

Congrats to the Remix team. I'm not entirely sure how you acquire a web framework or what the end-goal is, but I'm sure smarter people than I have the done maths.

Acquihire - you're not looking to buy the framework itself, you're looking to get the people who built it to work for you instead.

Didn't Remix raise funding? Trying to read between the lines here. No appetite to raise further funding? Too much competition? Just curious.

They did raise funding. It's unclear to me what their business model would have been (compete with Vercel?), and maybe the struggle to find one was why they decided to go for an acquisition.

We'll be redesigning Hydrogen to be powered by Remix: https://hydrogen.shopify.dev/roadmap/

the https://remix.run website is beautifully fun. I know lots of people will berate it for being OTT, but scrolling I wouldn't say is a critical path given the docs/get-started call to actions. I'd be interested to see what Shopify do with remix, are they more interested in the core team, maintaining remix.run as they plan to/do(?) use it internally. I assume they want to offer this framework as a baked in enhancemen…

It is fun! The Windows crash screen made me laugh.
