heya, been keeping an eye on remix but most people have been building larger scale systems with it - what was it like building a personal blog (not trying to downgrade your work but just wanted to know how it feels at a smaller scale) :)))) iā€™d love to discuss how you felt the process was as iā€™m super interested in this framework right now

Sure thing! It was really intuitive. Remix has offers a few pre-built tech stacks so it makes getting starting pretty easy: remix.run/docs/en/v1/pages/stacks I used the indie stack as my baseline and made adjustments along the way.

As for the syntax and API of Remix itself. It felt really good. Colocating the data I'm looking for and the UI with React felt natural and makes it easier to refactor later on. Also felt good to use the MDN docs for a lot of the questions I had as the APIs are based on the normal web platform APIs.

I made a thread on twitter where I went through some of the process: twitter.com/relatablecoder/status/...

But, but if you want to get more into detail feel free to shoot me message.
