Could FB plug the cord on React once it does no longer align with its core strategy? Sure, it did it with parse.com without the least concern for the community

Could FB plug the cord on React once it does no longer align with its core strategy? Sure, it did it with parse.com without the least concern for the community of users/clients. The apology was to leave behind a half-cooked open source version of parse server.
The exact same thing could happen to the React community. I'd say stick to true open source projects and descentralized communities.
- mbrock 10y agoWhat's not true about the open source of React?
- UweSchmidt 10y agoDeveloped by a company, if they stop it's still open source but who will maintain it? Linux is "truer" open source since it's all volunteers from day 1.
- hanspeter 10y agoIf they use React to develop their own apps doesn't give some assurance that they're going to stick? Besides React is not a platform like Parse was and it should not impact the community to the same degree even if Facebook pulls out.
- JMCQ87 10y agoYupp, there's enough precedent with Parse alone.
