Remix is a server-side rendering framework focused on pre-SPA web fundamentals like progressive enhancement and minimizing downloading and evaluating JavaScript and CSS assets for lighter, faster pages.

Edit: It does in-fact load a JSON payload along with client-side routing as well if you click to view comments. But then if you use browser refresh, it renders as a traditional server-side request. So true to its name, Remix is a blend of both approaches, playing on the strengths of each.

Yes, I should have mentioned that. Remix and Next remove the initial loading that SPAs seem to be known for, where the page is rendered but then it fetches again to actually get the content. I always hated that and was trying to find workarounds years ago for Angular because while loading JSON content is great for subsequent requests, it seemed so backwards to deliver the entire app over HTTP and then just make another HTTP request to fetch the content while the user looks at a loading screen, rather than doing it all in one step.
