Remix (renamed React Router since v7 in November 2024)[1] is an open source full-stack web framework. The software is designed for web applications built with front-end JavaScript frameworks like React and Vue.js.[2] Remix supports server-side rendering and client-side routing.[3] Remix has been presented as an alternative to the popular React framework Next.js.[4]

Initially available through a paid subscription, the software was made open source in October 2021.[5] The team developing Remix (that also developed React Router) was acquired by Shopify in 2022, but has promised that development will stay open-source and "independent".[6] [7] The Remix team announced at React Conf 2024 that the next major version of Remix will be merged into and released as React Router v7.[8]
