React Flow Pro Platform goes open source

We rebuilt the Pro Platform from the ground up and it is now open source. We hope some folks can take inspiration for their own OSS projects, and the pro subscribers enjoy the new look and features.

Why Svelte Flow?

We receive so many requests of people asking if React Flow will be ported to their favorite front-end framework, and we stuck with React until now.

Dear Open Source: let’s do a better job of asking for money

John Robb

Community Manager

It’s common knowledge that many open source projects are underfunded. We think one reason for this is that the open source world is doing a bad job of asking for the money that it deserves. By telling the right organizations exactly why and how we want them to financially support our work, OSS projects can be compensated for more fairly, and result in a healthier open source ecosystem.

Let’s get into what’s been up the past few months, what’s coming, and what we’re excited about right now.

How we lost our slick new npm package name (and then got it back)

Moritz Klack

Co-Founder

In 2019 we started building a library for building node based UIs, and decided to call it “React Flow.” It’s a nice name, so of course “reactflow” and “react-flow” were already taken. The best option we had for us was “react-flow-renderer,” so we took what we could get.

Releasing React Flow 10 and React Flow Pro

Almost two years ago we open sourced React Flow that was built for our flow-based data processing tool Datablocks. Since then we invested more and more time in React Flow and it got a lot of traction (25k+ website visitors per month, 9k+ stars on Github, 1k+ Discord members, 100k+ weekly downloads on npm).
