Remix is a fullstack web framework created by the developers behind React Router (Ryan Florence and Michael Jackson). Initially launched as a paid product in 2020, it went open source in 2021 and was acquired by Shopify in 2022. The framework focuses on web standards, server-side rendering, parallel data loading, and progressive enhancement. In 2024, Remix merged with React Router v7, and in 2025, Remix 3 made a radical shift away from React to Preact, prioritizing minimal dependencies and native web APIs, though this breaking change divided the community.
