I just tried the pattern you recommended using Vue to build a simple Purchase Power Parity Calculator[1] as all current ones are outdated AFAIK.

I'm a least JS, 'You Might Not Need JQuery' kind of person so my complex web applications are all rendered in the back-end using Go but this particular website is static and this is the first time I've added some JS to it for a core function.

It does seem like Vue is a good fit for small front end reactive components like this, I'm refraining from passing further comments on the subject as this is the first time I've tried it.

Love the project, it works well, loads fast, and I'm glad you didn't fall into any crazy frontend pitfalls.

I think vue is great for small apps and "big" apps, and I think others would agree. I mostly disagree on just how much value some of the enterprise-grade patterns that show up have.


Thank you for checking it out!

I agree with your use cases for Vue, It enables quick component development with minimal learning curve and good performance. A good choice for someone like me who had been holding out on modern JS libraries to offer better usability.

There seems to be more lighter version of Vue[1] being developed[1] which seems to offer more flexibility in terms of how light we would want it to be and looks similar to Lit, Did you recommended Lit for the same reason?
