Description / selection guide to the main README?

[fohrloop]

Thank you for this great project! Could the main README contain some common description to make it easier to grasp what the options are? I wrote some notes below.

Additional questions

I'm a rookie in the front end world, so could you please also enlighten me with: What is the practical difference of using "default" vs "node-custom-server"? I read from here that react-router-serve used in the default is just remix-serve (from Remix v2), and from here that

If you don't care to set up your own server, you can use remix-serve. It's a simple express-based server maintained by the Remix team. However, Remix is specifically designed to run in any JavaScript environment so that you own your stack. It is expected many —if not most— production apps will have their own server.

but could the README include what's the practical difference?
