This is probably one of the best explanations of "use server" and "use client".

[WalterKimaro]

There’s a reason why people used to think Dan created React, his understanding of React and his demos are always top notch😄

[dante_ele]

When useTransition first came out, I thought it was an animation hook. I was super excited React providing animation hooks :D

[AhmadAwais]

Turns out learning PHP early on wasn't a bad deal for so many web developers going forward, in the next five or so years.

[yoJuicy]

So many haters.

Awesome presentation. Dan did a great job explaining how React and Remix solve fundamental issues with the browser, server, and internet.

[aghileslounis]

Amazing demo, works flawlessly. Can't imagine the complexity behind to make all of this work

[PandPwned]

Hey Dan
The comment section mostly ugly, but the ideas and solutions that you presented here makes much sense to me.

How I saw it: the idea behind this paradime - to empower the usage of web primitives and server-rendering in parts of web app where it's sufficient, while keeping full power of all the unique React features such as Suspense/Concurrency for dynamic parts. And what's most important to have unified runtime(framework / mental model) for both client and server sides of the app. What we saw on demo is fully interactive server-rendered app with absolute minimum of javascript, but with powerful primitives for handling loading states, suspending parts of UI, async server actions and seamless binding data between server & client out of the box, without writing single line of server-framework code. Isn't it impressive?
I'm sorry if my language wasn't entirely clear, but I hope you get the point.

[SebastianGamboaQ]

Amazing job, I still remember html tables and php and I love how much web development have changed, love from Colombia❤

[electrovlady]

It looks like “React on Rails” for me.
Presentation with windows XP, IE and this old-school site with running stings is awesome 😎
Thanx Dan❤

[mikimaine]

The joy I felt when you finally did the server This is coming from a long-time Laravel developer. but still, we can't do that in Laravel with that level of control in a few lines of code. Can't wait to see how it will mature overtime.

This talk should be named "Dan trying to convince Remix OSS maintainers to integrate RSC"

[madhuiitb-cse]

DAN is awesome. He made it really nice.

[nattysweg]

I like that this was rough around the edges, but still achieved in showing the power of moving the boundary of server and client.

[kevin]

Hey Dan! Thanks for the demo! Don't let the negativity of some people in the comments ruin your day. The demo was cool, and it clarified some things for those of us who care.

[ryanquinn]

Oh my god did I have a flashback to my childhood when two minutes in Dan is talking about Sliders. That darn squeaky fence.

[nidhinsnair]

Nice Talk Dan. As a regular app developer, initially I thought SC is going to be a huge mess. Now the idea of server components started making sense to me. Keep innovating, keep discovering new layers of React.

As usual, *Let everyone 'React' first and 'Adopt' later.*

Honeypot - prepare notes for part 2 🤗

[ashishpadhy]

WIndows XP really throws me back to the past memories

[PhilipAlexanderHassialis]

Let's hope that Remix will decide to also adopt React Server Components after this talk.

[daniellanciotti]

The Windows XP desktop was just awesome !!! haha
