[_Wake Up, Remix!_ Everything's Changing..](https://remix.run/blog/wake-up-remix) — Big news from the [Remix](https://remix.run/) camp this week. About a year ago, [Remix and React Router merged together](https://remix.run/blog/merging-remix-and-react-router) reflecting their shared goals and code, but now it’s _all change_ again. [React Router](https://reactrouter.com/) is now basically what Remix originally intended to be, and so ‘Remix’ is rebooting as a model-first, low-dependency, Web API-centric full-stack framework built on [Preact](https://preactjs.com/). It’ll no longer be a 'React framework' _per se_.
