The recent announcement titled "Wake up, Remix!" has sparked a lot of reactions across the developer community. It’s natural to have questions about the future of Remix and React Router. But here’s the key point: React Router v7 is a stable, production-ready platform backed by a committed team that will continue maintaining and improving it.
React Router v7: A solid and modern foundation
React Router v7 was designed to offer a robust and up-to-date experience. This version includes many of the advanced features that made Remix stand out, such as:
- Server-side rendering (SSR) and static site generation (SSG): Enabling faster, SEO-friendly applications.
- Simplified data loading and server actions: Making it easier to manage data and forms in a declarative way.
These features make React Router v7 a strong choice for building modern applications—without needing to rely on a full-stack framework.
A dedicated team
Behind React Router v7 is a talented team that has worked hard to bring the best ideas from Remix into the router. While Remix co-founders Michael Jackson and Ryan Florence have decided to shift focus to the development of Remix v3, they’ve handed over React Router v7 to an open governance committee dedicated to its ongoing evolution.

This ensures that React Router will continue to receive active support, bug fixes, and new features with a clear, community-driven vision.
Remix v3
While React Router v7 remains a stable and reliable tool, the original Remix team is now exploring a new direction with Remix v3. This next version aims to rethink what a web framework can be—focusing on simplicity, clarity, and performance—and may even explore alternatives beyond React.
Though many details are still under wraps, it’s clear this will be an experimental and fresh start—not something meant for production use in the short term.
