Remix MDX Blog Template
A free, MIT-licensed React Router (Remix) blog starter with MDX content and shadcn/ui
- Best for
- Developers who want a lightweight, MIT-licensed MDX blog starter on React Router/Remix with shadcn/ui and Tailwind v4 already configured.
- Skip if
- You want a battle-tested template with a larger community - this is a very small, recently-published project with minimal adoption so far.
This is a free, open-source blog template built on React Router v8 (formerly Remix), Vite, TypeScript, and Tailwind CSS v4 with shadcn/ui components. Content is authored in MDX with type-safe schemas via Content Collections and Zod, and it ships pre-configured SEO meta tags/Open Graph support and dark mode with system preference detection. It's maintained by loke-dev under an MIT license.
Pros
- Free, open source, and MIT licensed
- Uses current tooling (Tailwind v4, React Router v8, Content Collections) rather than legacy versions
- Pre-configured SEO meta tags and Open Graph support out of the box
Cons
- Very early-stage project with only 1 GitHub star and no visible community track record
- Blog-only scope - no auth, billing, or app functionality beyond content presentation
- Long-term maintenance depends on a single small maker
