A first look at Remix 3
Scott went to Remix Jam in Toronto, came home with a CD, and now we're breaking down Remix 3: a full stack, web-standards-first framework that ditched React. Manual renders, custom events, frames, and a dishwasher sick pick, all in one episode.

Scott and Wes dive into Remix 3, exploring how it embraces native web standards like Events, Signals, and Streams to become a truly full-stack framework. They unpack what “LLM-ready,” thin APIs, and a standards-based approach mean for the future of web development.
