Is there a feature flag we should use to use the New OSS UI ?
a
Hey @datamongus! There isn't one yet because a lot of functionality is still missing from the new UI, but we will add a feature flag once we're close to parity with the current UI. I expect that we'll add a comment to this issue once we've added a feature flag to enable the UI.

Awesome thank you
you got it dude 1
I was just curious what it looked like I’ve seen a lot of references to it in the last few releases. I will stand by for the feature flag.

tbh it looks a lot like the old UI, but I try to include videos/gifs in PRs. Here's an example if you're interested. We're working on replatforming the UI from Vue to React and storing the whole thing in the
PrefectHQ/prefect
to (hopefully) make it easier to contribute to the UI. We're planning on not redesigning the UI too much while doing the replatform so that it doesn't drag on too long, but I expect we'll make more design-related changes once the replatform is done.

Thank you for sharing. Was the decision to replatform due to performance opportunities or community engagement ?

Primarily maintenance and community engagement, but I think we'll be able to improve performance by taking advantage of libraries in the React ecosystem. For example, we're using
@tanstack/react-router
which makes preloading data for routes really easy and makes everything feel snappier.
