Congratulations on your launch, but I couldn't tell what Vue was from this announcement post. I wish articles like this could include even just one sentence at the beginning that looks like this:

    Vue.js is a library for building interactive web
    interfaces. It provides data-reactive components
    with a simple and flexible API.

(pulled from their GitHub README, which I was only able to find because of the comment here on HN from cdnsteve fifteen minutes ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11582600).

Edit:

Thanks, Evan, for adding the explanatory bit at the top of the post.

The main vue.js web site is here: http://vuejs.org/

That's still one click too far. It wouldn't cost anything to add a single line of text on top, while arguably persuading more newcomers to try and learn Vue.

Which is great, BTW, I used it in a couple of projects with LiveScript and it was a pleasure. It doesn't assume much about your code and you can fit it in any kind of architecture you happen to have. Good to see a progress here!

EDIT: wait, it's already there (the mention what Vue.js is) in the article:

> In case you’ve never heard of Vue.js before: Vue.js is a front-end framework that consists of a core view layer and accompanying tools & supporting libraries. You can read a high-level introduction to what makes it different here.
