Wake up Remix - The plan for Remix v3

This week you might have heard a rumor about Remix moving on from React. Ryan and Michael just published an official post describing the future of Remix.

In a nutshell, React Router will still be fully maintained and a safe bet. In parallel, Remix v3 will be a new framework based on a fork of Preact, so that they control the full stack.

Their goal with Remix v3 is “reimagining what a web framework can be”. The post describes the guiding principles this new framework will follow (optimize for LLMs, build on Web APIs, composition…)
