In the most recent "State of the Word" address Matt Mullenweg continually spotlights the importance of "open-source" as it relates to the future and freedom of the web. He noted that while WordPress market share has grown over the last few years, many proprietary (closed source) web development tools have begun to steal market share from other open-source platforms like Joomla and Drupal. He goes on to warn that there have been many times where a leading software company has fallen to competitors. Could this be an early warning signal that WordPress is worried about its future as platforms like SquareSpace, Shopify, and Webflow start to mature?Tune in as we review a short highlight from the WordPress address and share our thoughts about the world of open-source software development. We'll explain how we think Webflow fits into that picture over time and discuss what we see as the path forward for these platforms over the next few years.
