VueLynx
An experiment in rendering native apps with Vue and Lynx.
The idea
When Lynx was released, Vue developers had no working path to evaluate its native rendering model with Vue syntax and tooling.
My part
I built the first prototype path across the compiler and runtime, documented it publicly, and opened the work for outside testing and contribution.
Things to work around
- The runtime and public documentation were both new and changing.
- The prototype needed to prove the integration path before investing in a complete framework layer.
Decisions along the way
- Focused on the smallest vertical slice that could render a real Vue-authored interface.
- Published the implementation early so the ecosystem could inspect and extend it.
The result
Built in under 24 hours; referenced by Vue Mastery and shown in State of Vue at VueConf Amsterdam.
- Produced a working initial prototype in under 24 hours.
- Earned references from Vue Mastery and Evan You’s State of Vue presentation.
- Received an outside merged contribution.
