Merging Remix and React Router | Remix
For nearly 4 years we've been working on Remix, a fullstack framework built on web standards to help you build better websites and applications. React Router has always been Remix's largest dependency after React itself. The two projects are so closely aligned that we updated React Router to include Remix's great loading patterns, and later rewrote Remix to even more directly depend on React Router.
There are millions of projects using React Router, many built on top of Create React App (CRA). These days CRA is no longer recommended and the React docs recommend using a framework. Since Remix has always been effectively "React Router: The Framework", we wanted to create a bridge for all these React Router projects to be able to upgrade to Remix.
Turns out we made that bridge a little two well, specifically with the introduction of our Vite plugin and SPA Mode. We found ourselves looking at Remix, then looking at React Router, then looking back at Remix, and we could no longer meaningful tell the difference.
