This looks a lot like the early days of Postman. Built with Vue.js.

From Steve Schoger’s announcement tweet:

🤩 All new look! 260 icons redrawn from scratch
🤏 Thinner 1.5px stoke
✨ New 24px solid set

Available as first-party React and Vue libraries and official Figma components.

The React and Vue libraries are cool, but the coolest part about SVG-based icons is how you can simply copy/paste the HTML directly into your code.

It’s packed full of useful features, to help you build your perfect dashboard. Including status checks, keyboard shortcuts, dynamic widgets, auto-fetched favicon icons and font-awesome support, built-in authentication, tons of themes, an interactive config editor, many display layouts plus loads more.

Check out the live demo to see Dashy in action.

Anthony Fu && Matias “Patak” Capeletto from the Vite core team join Jerod && Nick to discuss Vitest – a blazing fast unit-test framework powered by Vite, && Slidev – presentation slides for developers.

Amal and Nick load up on coffee for a not-so-vite (lame joke!) conversation with Evan You all about Vite – a batteries included next-generation frontend tooling library. Vite continues to push the ecosystem forward with even stronger defaults, super speedy local development workflows, and a highly extensible universal plugin API. Need we say more?!

Rebuilding Wordle is a fun way to show off what your frontend framework is capable of (and how). Evan You has been doing just that for Vue. It’s not a 100% reproduction of the original, but it does have one cool feature the official game does NOT:

You can make your own Wordle and send it to friends by base64-encoding a word and include it as the URL query

Here’s a custom one using an acronym that many devs think about often…

Thanks to Lars-Erik Roald for submitting this. Here’s Lars:

It is the most comprehensive suite I have ever seen. Especially the datatable component is really impressive. Personally, I have absolutely no relations with Primetek. I just think it is a pity that PrimeVue goes off the radar.

He also provided this getting started video for you to check out.

NocoDB will turn any MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, or MariaDB into a smart-spreadsheet. Built with Node and Vue.js. Deploy directly to Heroku or with Docker.

Joe Sweeney built Podrain to scratch his own podcast-listening itch. Here’s what he had to say about it in our community chat:

Hi there! Huge fan of Changelog. I actually built a podcast client for the web as a Vue PWA, as a proof-of-concept towards building a web-first future away from app stores. Works fully offline with downloaded audio, as in, works in Airplane mode (but on Android only). Interface is rough but it’s pretty stable and improving over time!

Try Podrain yourself by pointing your favorite web browser right here.

If you plan on using Tailwind and building with React or Vue (or Alpine coming soon), it’s a no-brainer to start with these free UI components by the Tailwind team.

Rick Nolan:

Evan You is an independent software developer and the creator of the open source JavaScript framework Vue.js. We had a chance to speak to Evan about the release of Vue 3, his opinion on no-backend & fullstack approaches, Vue.js use cases and the work-life balance of the creator of the technology.

An amalgam of interest on this week’s episode starting with a peek at what’s finally coming in Vue 3. We talk about the process of change in the Vue ecosystem and what interesting features are coming either very soon or not for a while depending on how you view time right now. Then, the panelists share what they’ve learned recently, and finish off with shout outs to the projects, ideas, and people we’re appreciative of.

This Smashing article is a nice introduction to Tauri, which was news to me as well. It tells you why you might want to use Tauri instead of Electron, how to get set up for Tauri development, and how to build a Vue-based desktop app with the framework.

Evan You writes up lessons learned from rewriting the next major version of Vue.js.

Two key considerations led us to the new major version (and rewrite) of Vue: First, the general availability of new JavaScript language features in mainstream browsers. Second, design and architectural issues in the current codebase that had been exposed over time.

I found the section on overcoming the bottleneck of the Virtual DOM (and decreasing CPU time by up to 90%) fascinating. ASTs FTW once again!

Node 14, Vue’s Vite, and is-promise are in the news. We’ve got some working from home tips and unpopular opinions to share. And… shout outs! 👏

Lj Miranda:

I made a website that generates cute 8-bit avatars using Conway’s Game of Life. Simply type in your name, and it will create a unique sprite just for you! Try out the changelog, jerod santo, or adam stacoviak!

Conway’s Game of Life is something that we consider as a Cellular Automaton. It was a mathematical model created by the mathematician John Conway, who, unfortunately, passed away a few weeks ago due to the coronavirus. I highly encourage you to know more about Conway, he’s such an interesting and unique individual!

Built with Vue and Python. Source code here.

I like the why behind Matestack:

Implementing two separate systems (backend-api, frontend-app) is a pain: Two different code bases, two repositories to maintain, two different deployment schedules, two test environments, two everything… Being a small dev team, we decided not to adopt this modern web development complexity and decided to create… Matestack!

If you have 30 minutes and want an easy button to learn all about it, Jonas Jabari gave a talk on it at Ruby Unconf 2019.

Crater is free for life with all of the below features catered towards the freelance and small business community.

This looks really polished. It even has a React Native-based mobile app. That’s a lot!

Built with Vue. Play with the live demo right here.

From Yaser Adel Mehraban on getting started with Vue.js.

Vue.js is an approachable, versatile, performant, and progressive framework to build user interfaces with. This core library is focused on building the view layer only. It uses the goodies of Angular (such as template syntax) and React (such as Virtual DOM) and adds a few more enhancements on top.

… Another bonus point of it is that migrating to it is really easy. You just need to add a script tag to your page and you’re good to go.

Jerod, Divya, & Suz get together to discuss top-level await, the JS13kGames winner, Liran Tal’s is-website-vulnerable, Vue 3’s source code, and Facebook’s take on AR/VR/XR. Plus 3 awesome pro tips you don’t want to miss!

n8n (a numeronym for “nodemation”) is a node-based workflow automation tool. The reason for the square quotes around “open source” is because it has a Commons Clause attached to its Apache 2.0 license, which means you can do anything you want with the source code except make money with it. Since n8n itself is built on open source tech such as TypeScript and Vue.js, this is a nice touch by the author in the FAQ:

As n8n itself depends on and uses a lot of other Open Source projects it is only fair and in our interest to also help them. So it is planed to contribute a certain percentage of revenue/profit every month to these projects. How much exactly is not decided yet.

Vue-next is in “pre-alpha” condition, but the team has achieved most of the architectural goals and new features planned, so the source is now public on GitHub. No word yet on when they expect Vue 3 to be officially released, but you can at least dig in to what they’ve got so far!

Built with Nuxt.js.

[XSM] consists of a global store and the machinary to re-render the component when the state is updated. The store is just a JavaScript object with key and value pairs. By binding the instance reference, this, to the store, each component can react to the changes of the store whether it is re-render or unmount. It is really this simple, no need to use HOC, provider, reducer, decorator, observer, action, dispatcher, etc. Hence, all the three most popular framewokrs work the same way in XSM and that’s why we can keep the code size very small and support the three frameworks without framework specific modules.

Works out of the box with Angular, React, and Vue.
