About Us
The story of xyflow
Since 2014, Moritz and Christopher have been creating infographics, tools, and interactive projects through their agency, webkid. While developing Datablocks in 2019, they created React Flow and decided to open-source it. As adoption grew, they began working on it full-time in 2021 to develop it into a sustainable open-source project, just like the ones they loved using.
Today, we've expanded the team and generalized the core of React Flow to support frameworks beyond React. To keep everything organized, we launched xyflow—a home for all our projects. Now, here we are–happy maintainers of a couple of libraries we're proud of with wonderful communities behind them :)
If you need anything, have an idea, or just want to say hi, we're an email away at info@xyflow.com.
✌🏻 the xyflow team
Core Team
Our product development team is based in Berlin and works full-time on xyflow
Christopher
Co-Founder
Christopher doesn't remember anything before 2015. He woke up on the shores of the Spree, where he wandered into the offices of the newspaper Zeit and they gave him a job as a front-end developer, mistaking him for the potential new hire. He quickly rose through the ranks there. Now he codes at xyflow, hoping one day he will remember how he got here, and what the meaning of all this is anyway.
Moritz
Co-Founder
Moritz was raised in the depths of Teutoburger Wald by a pack of wolves, learning how to hunt, survive, and develop front-end applications. He abandoned his pack after a disagreement in 2019, where he fled to the streets of Berlin. He now maintains React Flow, and dreams of one day rejoining his pack.
Abbey
Software Engineer
Abbey spent the first twenty years of her career finely crafting an innovative sea bass fishing technique. The world of sea bass became all too political for her, but luckily she found xyflow, which she wrongly assumed was another commercial fishing company. She is still figuring out how to turn on a computer, but once she does, she is excited to start contributing to the team.
Peter
Software Engineer
Peter has been directing a mockumentary of the xyflow team a la The Office since he broke into our building during the summer of 2023. Luckily for our team, the footage will never be released since he never asked us to sign a talent waiver, and none of us have the heart to tell him. Once he's done editing the footage (he keeps saying 'one more week'), we're hoping he'll make some contributions to the Svelte Flow library and docs.
