This is huge. Remix is my favorite React framework at the moment. It is by far the best abstraction I've seen of client/server model. Their API abstraction layer is just right, working with native browser and nodejs APIs, not obscure them. Typescript support is amazing. I'd bet my money on Remix model and direction vs Nextjs
There seems to be a disconnect between what Shopify do internally and what they ask of their users. With Hydrogen and now Remix you would think they have their sh*t together. But when the official docs recommend that you inline jquery click handlers for a simple adjustment to their shop, I just don't know what to think. All in all the Shopify dev experience for me is on par with Wordpress. I hold my nose and cash the…
Why do you feel that way? What is wrong with a quick inline jquery click handler? What part of web development requires webpack + react + tailwindcss + a bunch of random packages that provide 1 function? Sometimes people just want to get stuff done, and doing a simple $('.cart').on('click', () => {}); does the job. If you want to get fancy as another user posted, use the full API suite and do it all yourself. It's ro…
Shopify seems to be an incoherent mess right now with poor engineering management. The stories that I am hearing are that a third of their engineering workforce consist of interns and the other third consist of juniors. They have very few engineering seniors and staffs, relative to most companies of their scale and market cap.

I wouldn't be surprised if they swap out liquid and its json based layout config .. despite they keep saying everything is doing great. New gen developer probably got gaslit by React vibe and demands change (admittedly I made this shit up)
This acquisition is very much in the context of https://hydrogen.shopify.dev/roadmap/#first-quarter and https://github.com/Shopify/hydrogen - Shopify very much wants to move to the modern era. And to address your point, it's not gaslighting to say that React enables interactions that would be essentially impossible if restricted to server-side templating. But there's certainly some degree to which trendiness and a de…
Why acquire something that is MIT licensed? Is this really just a talent acquisition? https://github.com/remix-run/remix
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.
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.

If the argument is for minimalism, why use jQuery when vanilla JS suffices?

because JQ is already loaded, and it IS minimal. You could do querySelector(...).addEventListener etc but why would you?

Remix raised funding. Ran out of money with no scope to self sustain or raise money. They downsized (see Kent Dodds. Perhaps there are others). Strong engineers that built the platform got acquihired.
