Ask HN: What are some big Vue.js projects in production right now?

Vue is hot right now. Curious to know who's using it, why, and what for. Or just links to some live apps.

My newsletter app's frontend is entirely in Vue 2. It's been very pleasant to work in, coming from both a React and Angular background, though there are definitely some things of React I miss.

(I feel like the only important question is "if I were to go back in time and restart the project, would I still use Vue?" — to which the answer is an emphatic yes.)

    Which parts of react do you miss?

    • jmduke

      At an accessory level, tooling and ecosystem richness — which I don't really hold against Vue, because it'll definitely get there in time.

      At a slightly more existential level, I miss how lightweight React components are: they're literally just functions, which makes breaking them out really frictionless. If I've got a FooWidget and I want to break out the header of the widget out into a new component, it's incredibly trivial to do — as opposed to Vue, which forces you to create a new file for it, register that component in the namespace, etc.

      (I wrote about this a little more in depth here: http://jmduke.com/posts/what-vue-needs-next/)

    Have you ever used Angular 2+

Time tracking and invoicing.

Django back, Vue.js front

Gmelius - https://gmelius.com . We have decided to use Vuejs for our whole product line (Browser extension, Desktop, Mobile) because we have found it to be quite powerful and easy to work with for our team. A big plus is the developer on boarding being really fast compared to other frameworks. Time is money and Vuejs really closed the deal for us.

The underlying construction and rendering for all components at https://component.io is done with Vue.js

    Thanks for sharing this. Never knew about it and it looks exactly what I needed for a new project!

I have couple of sites built with Vue.

In my opinion, VueJS is a breeze for small and medium sized projects, when all you need is some reactivity. You can just drop the Vue, Vuex js min files and you will be up and running in no time.

Were also building a cool data visualization tool with Vue at https://www.visualabs.com ... the Vue piece isn't released yet but it's HOT! :-)

https://yumefood.com.au - a wholesale marketplace for surplus food. We use Vue and it's serving our needs really well.

https://www.formgraph.com - real-time collaborative drawing in vue.js; drawing client alone is over 5k LOC of Vue.js.

  • HendrixerOP

    Oh this is nice, do you work there? Wondering the experience the devs had making this.

https://scaleway.com use it and almost all of the APIs it accesses are from their public API.

We used Vue at Harland Clarke to build a large mobile check ordering app. All the checks you order on your phone for Wells Fargo or Bank of America use that app!

I thought Alibaba was funding some of Vue and was using it.

Australian (currently) price comparison website

    If you don't mind, does it get the listings from an API or do you have to crawl?

  • HendrixerOP

    Very perfomant on mobile

    • jazoom

      Thanks mate. I've put a lot of effort into it. Vue makes it easier. It really is a great framework.

      • Gigablah

        Just a little suggestion; make the title bar stop expanding (on mobile) when you scroll back to the top. I've already seen the site logo and slogan the first time, after all.

        • jazoom

          About 2 weeks ago I had a lot of people on Reddit complain that it DIDN'T expand again, so I made the change to its current form. I'm glad to know there are differing opinions on this. :-)

          Maybe I'll do both and take your advice for mobile and their advice for desktop.
