- Remix was announced to 'take a nap' at React Conf last summer.
- Remix v2 became a thin wrapper around React Router, leading to an artificial separation between the projects.
- Bundler and server runtime code from Remix were moved into React Router v7, merging Remix's features into React Router's 'framework mode'.
- React Router v7 was released last November with RSC support previewed last week, providing a stable platform for Remix v1 and v2 users.
- React Router v7 has become highly capable, supporting server components directly from loaders and actions, and offering server-only routes.
- React Router v7 is widely used by major companies like Shopify, X.com, GitHub, and powers nearly 11 million GitHub projects.
- Remix v3 is being reimagined as a full-stack, RSC-first React framework with a focus on simplicity, clarity, and performance.
- Remix v3 aims to be a modular toolkit with first-class database drivers and a built-in component library, starting with a fork of Preact.
- Development principles for Remix v3 include lightweight, fast, and web-aligned experiences, with no critical dependencies, not even React.
- A preview release is not ready yet, but progress will be shared at Remix Jam.
