- steve_adams_86 5y agoI agree. Part of what my team likes about next is that although it doesn’t get everything perfect, it’s generally close enough and otherwise often within the realm of customization when it counts. The only exception might be the router. I’ve found it a little limited at times and there’s no way around it. This is one of remix’s apparent strengths, but it’s insanely comprehensive. I wonder if it might be too much in the other direction.
- DangitBobby 5y agoI spent a weekend playing around with Remix, and it didn't fail to deliver. I don't think you have anything to worry about.
- steve_adams_86 5y agoThanks for this comment. It pushed me to take a closer look, and so far I'm really impressed. I'll definitely give this more of a chance. The Remix team has a solid grasp on the request waterfall and how to reliably optimize page loads. I have no doubt that Vercel will optimize this in Next as well, but as long as their router is so limited I don't see how they can compete on optimizing dynamic content. It'll be interested to see how it shakes out!
- dbbk 5y agoSimplification in this case means, it gets out of your way. The API surface is incredibly small. You have actually more flexibility than you do in Next.js with its proprietary methods.
