Remix is a web framework built on React Router that focuses on web fundamentals, accessibility, performance, and flexibility. It delivers real HTML and SEO benefits, and allows for automatic updating of meta tags and styles. It provides features like login functionality, session management, and error handling. Remix is a server-rendered framework that can enhance sites with JavaScript but doesn't require it for basic functionality. It aims to create quality HTML-driven documents and is flexible for use with different web technologies and stacks.

Kent C. Dodds discusses the concept of problem elimination rather than just problem-solving. He introduces the idea of a problem tree and the importance of avoiding creating solutions prematurely. Kent uses examples like Tesla's electric engine and Remix framework to illustrate the benefits of problem elimination. He emphasizes the value of trade-offs and taking the easier path, as well as the need to constantly re-evaluate and change approaches to eliminate problems.

Scaling Up with Remix and Micro Frontends
Top Content
This talk discusses the usage of Microfrontends in Remix and introduces the Tiny Frontend library. Kazoo, a used car buying platform, follows a domain-driven design approach and encountered issues with granular slicing. Tiny Frontend aims to solve the slicing problem and promotes type safety and compatibility of shared dependencies. The speaker demonstrates how Tiny Frontend works with server-side rendering and how Remix can consume and update components without redeploying the app. The talk also explores the usage of micro frontends and the future support for Webpack Module Federation in Remix.

Remix Flat Routes – An Evolution in Routing
Top Content
Remix Flat Routes is a new convention that aims to make it easier to see and organize the routes in your app. It allows for the co-location of support files with routes, decreases refactor and redesign friction, and helps apps migrate to Remix. Flat Folders convention supports co-location and allows importing assets as relative imports. To migrate existing apps to Flat Routes, use the Remix Flat Routes package's migration tool.

How React Router Became a Framework
My name is Mark Dalglish and I'm here to discuss how ReactRouter became a framework. Remix is built on ReactRouter and heavily relies on it. Remix feels like a framework because it has a CLI, manages the dev and build lifecycle, and has strong opinions about the file system structure. Remix embraced Vite as a plugin, allowing developers to integrate it seamlessly into their existing Vite setup. The shift to Vite led to a change in the philosophy of Remix Vite, enabling frameworks to orchestrate all the environment builds and make the framework as a plugin pattern first class. React Router is merging with Remix to make all the build time framework features available to React Router consumers. React Router is now officially a framework as well as a library. The move to integrate Remix into React Router is driven by the exploration of the next generation of Remix. React Router V7 simplifies by dropping the React Native layer and allows flexibility for consumers to use it as a library or as a framework with additional architectural features provided by plugins. The focus is on betting on Vite in the long term, and React Router plans to support React Server components. Thank you to Mark for answering the questions.

Building modern web applications is riddled with complexity And that's only if you bother to deal with the problems
Tired of wiring up onSubmit to backend APIs and making sure your client-side cache stays up-to-date? Wouldn't it be cool to be able to use the global nature of CSS to your benefit, rather than find tools or conventions to avoid or work around it? And how would you like nested layouts with intelligent and performance optimized data management that just works™?
Remix solves some of these problems, and completely eliminates the rest. You don't even have to think about server cache management or global CSS namespace clashes. It's not that Remix has APIs to avoid these problems, they simply don't exist when you're using Remix. Oh, and you don't need that huge complex graphql client when you're using Remix. They've got you covered. Ready to build faster apps faster?
At the end of this workshop, you'll know how to:- Create Remix Routes- Style Remix applications- Load data in Remix loaders- Mutate data with forms and actions

The modern web would be different without rich client-side applications supported by powerful frameworks: React, Angular, Vue, Lit, and many others. These frameworks rely on client-side JavaScript, which is their core. However, there are other approaches to rendering. One of them (quite old, by the way) is server-side rendering entirely without JavaScript. Let's find out if this is a good idea and how Remix can help us with it?
Prerequisites- Good understanding of JavaScript or TypeScript- It would help to have experience with React, Redux, Node.js and writing FrontEnd and BackEnd applications- Preinstall Node.js, npm- We prefer to use VSCode, but also cloud IDEs such as codesandbox (other IDEs are also ok)

In this workshop we will learn how to build a personal blog from scratch using Remix, TailwindCSS. The blog will be hosted on Vercel and all the content will be dynamically served from a separate GitHub repository. We will be using HTTP Caching for the blog posts.
What we want to achieve at the end of the workshop is to have a list of our blog posts displayed on the deployed version of the website, the ability to filter them and to read them individually.
Table of contents: - Setup a Remix Project with a predefined stack- Install additional dependencies- Read content from GiHub- Display Content from GitHub- Parse the content and load it within our app using mdx-bundler- Create separate blog post page to have them displayed standalone- Add filters on the initial list of blog posts
