Hello Everyone!

The StoryBoard team is looking at alternatives to Angular.js since its going end of life. After some research, we've boiled all the options down to two possibilities: 

Vue.js 

or 

React.js

I am diving more deeply into researching those two options this week, but any opinions or feedback on your experiences with either of them would be helpful!

Hello,

Wikimedia has picked up Vue.js.  It has been evaluated based on a fairly large of requirements and challenged against over frameworks with react.js being the main if not the sole challenger.

Lot of the work happened in 2019 eventually leading to an introduction presentation by the working group late 2019: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/f/fd/FAWG_Demo.pdf

Formally agreeing on Vue.js went through a RFC which is https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T241180  . The description at the top is the proposal to adopt Vue.js.

The comments have all the discussions with arguments for both sides. The project lead of Vue.js (Evan You) came and clarified a few key points, which is always much appreciated. There some interesting exchanges regarding React. That should be a good read (grab several coffees).

There are some more discussions on Hacker News which involved Wikimedia employees and it gives some more context: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22625556

I can ask internally whether anyone at Wikimedia would be open for a round of discussion with your group.  Or feel free to reach out to them directly on my behalf.

A few other random thoughts:

- Gerrit UI is based on Polymer, Zuul has a dashboard using React.

- If I got it right: Storyboard was written to replace Launchpad Blueprint in the context of OpenStack development.  OpenStack Horizon uses Angular and I am assuming a lot of other OS projects do as well.  Maybe there the framework selection for Storyboard should be made in coordination with the rest of the ecosystem using it?

- if a rewrite is a lot of work, there is an opportunity to pick an entirely different system. But I guess Storyboard is adhoc for the unique workflows you have to support.
