In this episode of DejaVue, Alex and Michael are joined by Jared Wilcurt, UI architect and open source contributor, to get knee-deep into the world of testing in Vue.js, especially Snapshot Testing.
Jared shares his journey from React frustration to Vue enthusiasm, and explains how he identified gaps in Vue's testing ecosystem that led to the creation of his Vue 3 Snapshot Serializer library.
No matter if you are a testing novice, wondering why you should bother with tests at all, or an experienced developer looking to improve your snapshot testing workflow, this episode got something for you - from reducing test noise, improving readability, and gaining confidence in your Vue applications and components.Discover how snapshot testing complements traditional assertion-based tests and why it might be the missing piece in your testing strategy.
Enjoy the episode!

In this episode of DejaVue, Alex sits down with James Garbutt, open source maintainer and lead of the e18e initiative. James shares his journey from writing web scrapers as a teenager to maintaining critical JavaScript libraries like parse5 or Chokidar and eventually co-creating the ecosystem performance initiative.
The conversation is then all around e18e, which aims to improve performance across the JavaScript ecosystem through three pillars:
Cleaning up dependency treesSpeeding up popular packagesCreating lighter alternatives to bloated librariesJames explains how the community-driven approach has produced impressive results all across the web development landscape.
Learn about real-world examples of performance improvements, including replacement packages like tinyglobby and nano-staged, and discover how to contribute to e18e even if you're new to open source. James shares also insights on balancing between backward compatibility and performance, bundling dependencies, and also shares future plans for e18e in 2025.

Join hosts Michael Thiessen and Alexander Lichter for a special episode of DejaVue - a fascinating panel discussion on open source sustainability with three open source enthusiasts:
Daniel Roe (Nuxt Team Lead),Chad Whitacre (Head of Open Source at Sentry), and Rijk van Zanten (CTO and co-founder of Directus).The panelists dive deep into what sustainability truly means in open source and get deep into the weeds of different licensing models, debating whether open source functions as a gift economy, and discuss the challenges of project governance.
The panel also discusses important questions about leadership structures in open source projects, the role of companies in funding development, and practical ways everyone can contribute to making the ecosystem more sustainable - whether financially or through other meaningful contributions.

Nuxt 3.16 dropped and it's packed with goodies! In this episode, Alex and Michael break down all the cool stuff in this release that'll make your Nuxt development smoother.
They dive into the new command to initialize a Nuxt application, the performance-game-changing lazy hydration support that'll boost your app's performance, and named layer aliases (that you've been waiting for). Plus, huge performance improvements, better error messages with Nitro 2.11 and debugging improvements that'll save you hours of head-scratching.
But wait, there's more! The duo also geeks out over Nuxt UI v3, which (surprise!) now works with plain Vue.js too - not just Nuxt. Learn how it leverages Tailwind v4, introduces a sweet CSS variables-based design system, and builds on Reka UI primitives for better accessibility. And somehow, a discount code for Nuxt UI Pro* *cough DEJAVUE cough* gets snuck in there too!

Vite is amazing, I think we can all agree on that statement. But what is Vite actually!? Why is it so great, faster than webpack and the "de-facto standard of the web" already?
Alex is joined by Vite Core Team member Matias Capeletto, better known as Patak, to talk about all these questions.
Learn about the future of Vite, how it uses two bundlers under the hood and why almost every framework adopted it. Enjoy the episode!

Together with the FormKit author Justin Schroeder, Michael and Alex discuss the challenges of building forms on the internet.
While it seems like a simple task, forms can be complex and pretty time-consuming. Especially when it is more than a Newsletter or Contact Form.
Justin shares his experience building FormKit (multiple times), a form library for Vue.js, and how it can help developers build forms faster and more efficiently. From Accessibility to actually covering edge cases such as form hydration and repopulation!
Of course, we couldn't let Justin go without talking about some of his hot takes from Vue in 2024, over to Vapor Mode, and Tailwind.

After our recap episode on 2024, it is time to look into 2025 - and share our predictions and even some rather spicy hot takes what developers can expect in 2025. Of course, Michael and Alex once again have the Nuxt team Lead Daniel Roe on the show to get some insights on his takes as well!
Find out more about their thoughts on Vue Vapor, Nuxt 4, Conferences, Alien Signals, Vue 4, Nitro and many more topics that will be (most likely) relevant in this year.

To start the year light and fun, Michael and Alex are joined by Rijk van Zanten, the creator of Directus.
Of course we talk about his journey into web development, the Vue.js ecosystem, what Directus is and why he chose Vue over other frameworks for it's extensible frontend.
Further, Rijk shares his thoughts on the Vue.js job market and how his "Quadruple Migration", over to the Composition API, Pinia, Vue 3 and Vite, went. As a cherry on top - this all started *very* early in the development cycle of Vue 3!
But the fun doesn't and there because Rijk comes with the one or the other hot take on topics like TypeScript and whether our libraries will be worse for JavaScript developers, testing, and many many other scenarios.
Enjoy the Episode!

So, why not tuning in and hear fifteen people talk about their opinions, insights and suggestions when it comes to using their preferred API in Vue - and why.Oh, and yes - there is even a little spoiler for next weeks episode

The second half of the conversation with Sumit Kumar focuses all on the technical side of his SaaS.
At first, Michael and Alex talk about Sumit's experience with the migration from Nuxt 2 to Nuxt 3 - and we all know this isn't an easy one. Further, the Composition API vs. the Options API, as well as structuring code and writing good composables are discussed.
And of course, the question if Sumit considered rewriting the application based on another tech stack was part of it too - he had really good reasons why he didn't!Time to tune in.
Enjoy the Episode!
