Remix.run vs. Socialtext (discontinued)

You will love to use remix if you love using React and Node. Be careful, read the docs first because Remix sometimes has its flavor to do the things you know. Remix is awesome for building Single Page Applications. But, if you want to have a REST API on your backend, probably you will struggle a little bit.

We use Social Text as a platform to air our issues with different departments. We voice our concerns and suggestions so we can help find a solution to the problems we incur on a daily basis. We need to have social text as an app so we can communicate in real time not only during work hours.

• Search needs a ton of improvements. It was very slow a year ago
• Search result quality was also not that good
• I know they have improved their UI recently but when i used it last year it did not really have any design elements which could be used to make the articles look more presentable. It was important for us as we used it for external communication as well.

We have a lot of info in Socialtext already. It would be hard to get all that info out and port it to a different system

We wanted to have a data-driven routed application, and an useful backend to handle request for other client apps later.

I frankly like Confluence better than socialtext because of the speed and the quality of search. They also have better design elements which can help make the articles pleasant to the eyes.
