The React Foundation: A new chapter for React and React Native

React has transitioned from being primarily maintained by Meta to being governed by the newly formed React Foundation, marking a significant milestone for the entire React ecosystem. Initially open-sourced by Meta a decade ago, React has evolved into a crucial open-source project, powering countless websites and applications globally. The creation of the React Foundation, which now serves as the official home for React, React DOM, React Native, and related efforts, aims to coordinate and sustain the ecosystem rather than control it. This shift allows broader and more resilient governance, enabling transparent decision-making processes led by the maintainers and contributors. The transition is supported by major tech players like Meta, Microsoft, and Amazon, under the Linux Foundation's stable framework, ensuring continuous evolution and collaboration. Meta's commitment of five years of funding and engineering support during this transition underscores the importance of community-driven development. For Expo developers, this move reinforces the open and shared future of app development, with improvements to React's infrastructure benefiting Expo's framework. The React Foundation empowers developers to actively participate in shaping the future of React, ensuring the ecosystem remains healthy, mature, and ready for upcoming advancements.
