Ionic, originally founded in 2012 with a mission to empower web developers through open-source tools, is undergoing a strategic shift by discontinuing new customer sales for its commercial products and services, such as Ionic Appflow and Identity Vault. This decision follows Ionic's acquisition by OutSystems in October 2022, which has refocused the company on supporting and enhancing its open-source offerings like Ionic Framework and Capacitor, integral to OutSystems' mobile stack. While Ionic will maintain and improve its open-source projects, existing customers of its commercial products will undergo a multi-year transition with options for continued use and self-service maintenance. Ionic reaffirms its commitment to open-source development, emphasizing its dedication to providing developers with powerful and free tools to create exceptional mobile experiences, and promises to outline a detailed roadmap for its open-source initiatives in the future.
