Citation for manuscript

[StellarStorm]

Hi! I'm writing a manuscript describing a project in which reflex was used. Is there a preferred way for me to cite this project? Thanks!

Reflex does not have a formal academic citation (like a DOI or published paper) yet. Here are the standard ways to cite it:

In a bibliography/references section:

Reflex. (2025). Reflex: Web apps in pure Python [Computer software]. 
https://github.com/reflex-dev/reflex

BibTeX format:

@software{reflex2025,
  title = {Reflex: Web apps in pure Python},
  author = {{Reflex Dev}},
  year = {2025},
  url = {https://github.com/reflex-dev/reflex},
  note = {Open-source framework, formerly known as Pynecone}
}

You could also reference the website (https://reflex.dev) and the original Pynecone announcement blog post if you want to cite the project's origins.

If you want a more formal citation, you might reach out to the Reflex team on their Discord — they may have plans for a whitepaper or conference paper that you could reference instead.
