Frequently Asked Questions
Should I be developing stuff in Vue.js now/before migrations happen?
Currently, probably not. Anything you do will be experimental, and will need to be migrated. But if you are interested in trying it out without a lot of institutional support, as an experiment, please give us a heads up; you can find us on slack at #vue-developer-designer-summit-2021. We are working on standing up Vue.js component library and supporting infrastructure in place to assist product teams in developing new features in Vue.js. We will also begin assisting with the migration of our frontend features to utilize the new framework.
