Why did an E-commerce Website Buy JS Framework Remix?
While it is unusual for an e-commerce company to acquire a web framework, Remix has a strong hold on semi-interactive websites with mostly form-based inputs like blogs and e-commerce sites.

In a turn of events that has surprised many, Remix, a startup that develops open-source web frameworks was acquired by e-commerce website Shopify on October 31, 2022. But the more one reads into it, the more sense it makes. While the value of the deal wasn’t disclosed, Shopify is expected to use Remix across different projects and have more support for the framework on Shopify’s developer platform.
Harley Finkelstein, the President of the Canadian company said that they were planning to bring Remix “under the hood” of its own framework tool ‘Hydrogen’ used to build storefronts. The previous version of Hydrogen was made available last year in November to help merchants build headless commerce storefronts on the website. Headless commerce is essentially an approach to e-commerce or a kind of online architecture that helps web applications become more flexible and lightweight because the frontend is separated from the backend.
