In this episode of DejaVue, Alex and Michael are joined by Vanessa Otto, a Senior Engineer at GitLab and previously being the head of Frontend at Zavvy.

After discussing Vanessa's co-host role in the German Working Draft podcast, it all revolves around the headless editor "Tiptap" in the episode. From hearing why Vanessa chose it instead of other editors and her research around editors, Tiptaps integration with Vue and what the "headless" part of the editor adds to it, over to which use cases are ideal for Tiptap.

And yes, an example repository is included so you can convince yourself of the easiness! Enjoy the episode!

After the first part, Michael and Alex continue their conversation with the one and only Evan You, covering the future of the modern JavaScript Framework.

Starting straight with possible plans for Vue 4 to address common pain points and no ETA for the next major, exciting improvements like native CSS Scoping or removing the need for declaring props are discussed (though nothing is set on stone)!

Next, Vue 3.5 and it's current alpha version are on the list. We all look forward to the amazing features in the next minor version, including Lazy Hydration, perf improvements, easier types and also new composables like useTemplateRef.

Eventually, the State of Suspense, Vapor Mode, Volar, and Mobile App Development with Vue are addressed as well.

Enjoy the episode!

This DejaVue episode is special - Alex and Michael meet up with the creator of Vue, Vite and Rolldown, Evan You himself and talk about the last ten years of Vue!

Starting with how Vue.js started as a side project while Evan still worked at Google, Evan shares the story of how Vue.js came to be and how it evolved over the years. Interesting insights, such as why the Composition API was created and which initial problems should be solved with it, are shared in this episode. And to all that, questions from the Q&A were answered as well, touching topics like petite-vue, if and how the Options API will persist and how opinionated Vue.js is.

After an hour of content and insights, the episode ends with a tiny cliffhanger, as Part Two of the conversation covering the future of Vue, possible Vue 4 features, Vapor mode, Vue 3.5 and more, will be released next week!

Enjoy the episode!
