Good article on setup Nuxt with Aspire that allow such things as a proxy to a .Net backend, OpenTelemetry for logging and metrics, great dashboard to manage multiple services, and much more

Want Cursor (using Claude 3.7 Sonnet) to work with helping you write some Nuxt? Give the model/tool superpowers. You'll be shocked how well it understands Nuxt v3 and VueJS Composition API.

Go and power up!

Does Nuxt have a community newsletter / spotlight?

Seriously keep finding great resources.
And haven't even started digging yet.

Must be dreaming!! Visual Studio 2022 project templates now using the latest libraries for VueJS and React ??

And the WINNER is Vite!

May still lean on my hand-rolled pnpm workspace monorepo, but this is very nice to see.

It's done. Now it’s your turn, Oracle.

We’ve submitted a formal petition to cancel the JavaScript trademark: it is generic, Oracle has abandoned it, and Oracle committed fraud on the USPTO during the last trademark renewal.

It's time to #FreeJavaScript.
