## Why?

When Flipper was initially created, it was intended to fill a gap in native developer tooling. It was first open sourced in 2018, over 7 years ago. The native tooling capabilities have improved since then, and more people have stopped reaching for Flipper when doing native development. React Native removed Flipper from its default boilerplate in [v0.74](https://reactnative.dev/blog/2024/04/22/release-0.74#removal-of-flipper-react-native-plugin) and recently announced React Native DevTools. Nowadays, you can use alternative tools to reproduce Flipper's capabilities. We recommend checking out this [blog post](https://shift.infinite.red/why-you-dont-need-flipper-in-your-react-native-app-and-how-to-get-by-without-it-3af461955109).

As a result, support for Flipper has been deprioritized, and Flipper no longer has a dedicated team to support it. While we are sad to see this chapter come to an end, we are proud of what we have accomplished and grateful to the community for their support.
