vuejs-rails-starterkit

Friends, forkers, and the faithful thirty-three who cared enough to clone — we gather today to remember vuejs-rails-starterkit, who came into this world on a cold January morning in 2018, full of promise and the particular madness of someone who believed Vue.js and Rails could be friends. And they could. For a time, they were beautiful together. vuejs-rails-starterkit burned brightly in those early months. Commits flew like sparks. The README was polished with the devotion of a person who truly believed this time, this project, this one would be different. There was even a Heroku demo, which is the open-source equivalent of ironing your shirt for a first date. But we know how these stories go. The weekends grew shorter. The pull requests went quiet. Thirty-two open issues still sit in the waiting room like patients who were never called in. They remain there still, patient as saints, asking questions that will never be answered. The last commit arrived on January 19th, 2023 — a quiet Tuesday goodbye, though nobody knew it at the time. Over twelve hundred days of silence have followed. vuejs-rails-starterkit was never archived. It simply stopped speaking. And perhaps that is more honest than any formal closure could be. We thank you for the scaffold you provided, the hours you saved, the hybrid dreams you made possible. May your dependencies rest resolved, and your bundle install always succeed.
