From Remix to React Router 7: What’s Next for Modern Web Dev?

Paul Bratslavsky discusses the future of web development with Brooks from Shopify, focusing on React Router 7 and Remix 3. React Router 7 has introduced a new framework mode that incorporates many elements from Remix 2, providing flexibility with three modes—Declarative Routing, Data Router, and Framework Mode—while also preparing for React Server Components support. Meanwhile, Remix 3 is being reimagined to eliminate the need for bundlers, prioritize web standards, and offer an AI-ready architecture, aiming for a Rails-like experience in JavaScript. Brooks emphasizes the importance of using AI as a tool rather than a replacement, encouraging developers to stay curious and critically engaged. Upcoming events like Remix Jam 2025 will foster community involvement and feature exciting announcements about web development advancements.
