This is awesome. I've watched frontend webdev swing back and forth over the last decade of my career: from server frameworks like ASP.NET MVC with hacky progressive enhancement, to huge SPAs that reimplement things the browser should already be doing, to lighter SPAs with the library fatigue from assembling and updating every dependency.
Now it feels like the ecosystem is swinging back to: standard web APIs, modern browser features instead of unnecessary javascript, and lightweight progressive enhancement instead a SPA or a heavy UI hydration.
Libraries like hono / htmx already do similar things, but what's exciting about Remix 3 is that it promises all this with batteries included, closer to what Angular was for the frontend or Django/Rails was for the backend, but using all the modern tech and patterns that was developed since then.
