Summary from the TLDR Web Dev newsletter

While using useEffect for data fetching is common, it can lead to several issues, including race conditions, out-of-order responses, and inconsistent UI states. Remix's loader function, which provides built-in request cancellation, race condition prevention, and a smooth user experience, handles data fetching seamlessly. It also allows for custom loading states and provides flexibility and control over the user interface. Remix also has pre-rendering capabilities that deliver pre-rendered HTML with data included.
