What is :remote forms and links, it's a special option for Ruby on Rails form and links helpers that instead of submitting forms and navigating links sends AJAX request to the server, the server in turn respond with some JavaScript and Browser evaluates it.

Regarding the remote forms, you can just write some javascript (or jquery in this case) yourself, something like this:

 $("body").on("submit", "form[data-remote='true']", function(e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    let $form = $(this);

    $.ajax({
      method: $form.attr("method"),
      url: $form.attr("action"),
      data: $form.serialize(),
      dataType: "script",
      beforeSend: function(_jqXHR, _settings) {
        // add a loader or whatever
      },
      complete: function(_jqXHR,_textStatus) {
        // remove a loader or whatever
      }
    });
  });
