This is very experimental.

You can write server side and client side react code in the same file and render it to a val.

I love the simplicity of Remix. It does SSR, but it feels like you're building a static site. I love the simplicity of val.town! It makes it easy to create a live site with one file.

So I took those two things I liked and smashed them together to make this. Does it work? Yes. Is it done well? No. Is it a good idea? Probably not. But it's fun to play with.
