appDirectory name and default value bikeshedding

[lensbart]

Hello,

First of all, I love Remix, so thank you and make sure not to lose too much time on this proposal.

I find it slightly peculiar that the default appDirectory name is app and not src:

• Most projects I’ve encountered, put their uncompiled source files in a src directory. It is my understanding that the appDirectory folder is equivalent to this folder. In a monorepository, it’s nice if all packages are similarly organised, so using the src convention makes sense from that perspective
• Also in a monorepository, it’s common to have both an apps and packages folder, which contain all workspace packages. It’s a bit weird to have e.g. apps/my-remix-app/app or apps/web/app.
  • Arguably, the “my-remix-app” or “web” folders are the ones that contain the entire app, and the appDirectory is only part of that.
  • Having uniform folder naming convention in a monorepo helpful for e.g. having an .eslintignore line for /apps/*/src/__generated__
• This leads to an adjacent point that perhaps srcDirectory is a better-suited name for appDirectory

Of course, the cost is just a single line in remix.config.js so no real hassle. But I’m proposing it anyway because it seems like a more sensible default for new projects as well.

Looking forward to your thoughts!
