• React finds a new home at the Linux Foundation with $3M Meta support

  The open-source projects React and React Native, along with supporting projects like JSX, are transitioning to a new, independent organization called the React Foundation. The move is designed to formalize the governance of the popular JavaScript library and give a larger role to the community and companies that have contributed to its development.

• Introducing the React Foundation: The New Home for React & React Native

  Meta open-sourced React over a decade ago to help developers build better user experiences. Since then, React has grown into one of the world’s most popular open source projects, powering over 50 million websites and products built by companies such as Microsoft, Shopify, Bloomberg, Discord, Coinbase, the NFL, and many others. With React Native, React has expanded to support platforms beyond the web, including mobile, tablets, desktops, TVs, gaming consoles, and even mixed reality devices.
