As a dedicated member of the Grafana community, I have greatly benefited from the open-source Flowcharting plugin. This powerful tool has become indispensable to our operations, offering functionalities that are not available in any other Grafana plugin. However, with Angular no longer being supported in new releases of Grafana and the original project owner no longer active, the future of this valuable resource is uncertain.

The Flowcharting plugin offers unique features that are not available in the Canvas plugin, such as the ability to create complex flowcharts and diagrams with live data integration.

The Flowcharting plugin is also more customizable and flexible than Canvas, allowing users to create highly tailored visualizations that meet their specific needs.However, with Angular no longer being supported in new releases of Grafana, the Flowcharting plugin risks becoming obsolete.

This would be a significant loss for many users who rely heavily on it for their work.We believe that there is an opportunity for GrafanaLabs to step in and preserve this valuable resource. By adopting the project and migrating it from Angular to React - which is supported by new releases - they could ensure its continued existence while also enhancing their own suite of tools.

This petition calls upon GrafanaLabs to adopt the Flowcharting plugin and transition it from Angular to React. This would not only preserve the plugin but also enhance its functionality and ensure its availability for all those who depend on it. We urge you as fellow members of our community who understand the importance of this resource to sign this petition.

Additionally, we request that GrafanaLabs consider adding the unique features of the Flowcharting plugin to the Canvas plugin, such as live data integration and enhanced customization options.

This would provide users with an even more powerful and versatile tool for data visualization.Together, we can ensure that Flowcharting remains a viable and valuable tool for the Grafana community, while also enhancing the functionality of the Canvas plugin.
