The changed code is a small fraction of an open source contribution. Your commitment to understand the issue, how your proposed solution fits with the project, and be ready to own and push the review process forward is the biggest chunk of the work. Your effort is the contribution, not the code.

After many long years, the most widely used React framework in the world has React Server Components support! And the migration story is iterative, not "big bang" 💥
I think React Router's take on RSC is really great. Read the article and watch the whole video here: www.epicreact.dev/react-router...

@ricky.fm I'm a bit stumped on a transition/useOptimistic thing (let me know if you'd prefer a GH issue!)
Been making sure RR plays nice with async transitions via useOptimistic and ran into an odd quirk with history.go/popstate that I can't quite figure out:

Reproductions should be in as few files as possible. So much easier for the maintainer to grok the issue without having to jump between a bunch of different files.

🤔 What if there were a conference without talks? Just hanging out with OSS maintainers & builders, seeing what they’re working on, and learning cool stuff by actually talking to people.
🤯 What if hallway track turned into the whole event!
💡 @tannerlinsley.com is exploring it. Interested? ⬇️

Great for logging, perf tracing, OTEL, and more.

💯 Great write up. This mimics a lot of what I do when trying to repro bugs. Trimming away surrounding "fluff" is a skill and hugely beneficial when reproducing bugs.

We're likely following suit here in React Router v8 and dropping CJS builds and shipping ESM only and raising the minimum Node version to 22.12.0
"No more juggling CommonJS and faux-ESM."
- @joyeecheung.bsky.social revealed how @nodejs.org is moving to full ESM and why the future looks brighter for developers.

Sick enhancement from @rossipedia.com here.
Now I need to hear sick beats from all of you since I'm not musically talented. Added some logic to sync the beat to the URL and deployed to GH pages. Share your beats in the replies!

*record scratch* *freeze frame* Yep, that's me (Remix 3). You're probably wondering how I got here.
This is how I like to visualize/explain the evolution of Remix and React Router. I was nerd sniped by a diagram @bradwestfall.bsky.social posted the other day so I finally put pen to paper

The Remix 3 server-side router is `fetch` based
which means it also runs in the browser
which means you can build a SPA router on top of it
with fine grained event-driven rendering if that's your jam
(it could also live in a service worker)

I’m reaching the age of “checking my bag is just objectively easier so I don’t have to lug it around the airport and the 10-20 minutes to pick it up at the end don’t actually impact my trip” 👴🏻

This is definitely not the case and is the reason I’m not playing golf with @jim-nielsen.com and @ricky.fm this week
Gotta wonder if the Remix folks intentionally planned Remix Jam the same week as React Conf, just two days day after 😳

Can’t wait for ViewTransition. Trying to wrangle an asynchronous imperative DOM API into declarative concurrent React under the hood in React Router for <Link viewTransition> was *tricky* and I would love to delete all of that code
Just announced at React Conf - New React API available in canary:
🔥 <ViewTransition>
🔥 <Fragment ref>
Particularly excited for Fragment Refs, exposing platform-specific APIs such as:
- addEventListener()
- observeUsing()
- focus()
- getClientRects()
- scrollIntoView()

Really excited about some new observability APIs we’re noodling on in React Router. We want to make it very easy to know how your app is behaving for real users.
Alpha releases are available now so hit me up if you want to do some early testing. Hoping to land some unstable API after Remix Jam.
