Issues with Concurrent Submissions in Remix Framework

The article explores the inherent issues in Remix's approach to concurrent submissions, which allow users to interact with the UI while submitting requests. Valim argues that the pattern of submission and revalidation allows for race conditions that can lead to inconsistent UI states. He highlights the fundamental assumption that revalidation reflects the earliest version of data as flawed, particularly when dealing with database interactions. The article proposes potential solutions such as causal ordering and persistent connections to ensure that data consistency is maintained, drawing comparisons to the functionality offered by Phoenix LiveView. Ultimately, Valim emphasizes that relying on server state to drive UI can lead to nuanced issues that necessitate careful design considerations.
