I wonder how Remix ranks next to Blitz.js[1] or Redwood.js[2]. They seem like they're all trying to do similar things.

Yes, definitely different takes on the same problem! We could make a comprehensive list of all the differences, but the end result is that you can use all three (four if you include Next.js) to build any web app imaginable.

At the end of the day, you must try them each for yourself and find which one resonates most with you and your team.


Thanks for the reply. Honestly, I'd love to see such a list, or even a short summary of each that provides as solid intuition as to why I might choose one over the other.


Agreed, would really love this. Please update if you find anything good!


That's what I'm most interested in. What's the difference between remix and blitz.js? I can't find a detailed comparison anywhere


The one-line answer would be: Blitz is an additional abstraction layer on top of Next.js that offers a Rails-style set of conveniences like feature generation, plus a "compile-away" RPC abstraction that hides all data fetching. Remix is a from-scratch framework built around React Router that tries to adopt existing web APIs to minimize the amount of data-related code being written in the first place.
