Sam and Ryan share their experiences building with Remix for the very first time. Sam built a simple exercise tracking app using the Indie starter stack, and Ryan built a blog using server rendering in both Remix and Next.js, and talks about the differences between the two frameworks. They both discuss what the larger React community can learn from the ideas that Remix has to offer.
