Introducing Flight: a web application framework

Last year we rolled out a major reimplementation of the Twitter website. In addition to shifting the rendering of our page content to the server (which achieved significant performance gains), we re-envisioned the entire client-side infrastructure with a clean, robust and easy-to-learn framework which we call Flight. Today we’re making Flight available to the open source community under the liberal MIT license as a framework for structuring web applications.

Whether you use Flight as the JavaScript framework for your next web project, or just as source for new ideas, we look forward to learning from diverse perspectives via community feedback and contributions on GitHub.
