Fun Facts #
- Remix handles data loading on the server, so pages are interactive before JavaScript even loads.
- Its philosophy is “progressive enhancement” — apps still work without JS.
- Remix uses React Router at its core, so routing is deeply integrated and powerful.
- Shopify uses Remix internally for production-scale storefronts.
- The framework encourages a new mental model where loaders = async controllers for each route.
