The future of Vuetify
johnleider opened this issue Β· 93 comments
The beginning
When I created Vuetify, it was a personal project meant to help spec out prototypes more efficiently. Only after sharing it with a co-worker was I convinced to release it as an full open-source project. The amazing community and extremely talented developers that I have had the pleasure to be around are what make working on this project mean so much to me. But you cannot have the sweet without the sour. Maintaining the level of activity needed to accommodate the growing needs of the user-base has lead to many sleepless nights and time away from my family.
The transition
With v1.0 around the corner, the pressure is on and has no signs of letting up. After talking with my current employer, we both agree that this is a dream that should not be passed up. Starting on November 1st, I will officially transition my day job to Vuetify. Providing the best possible quality for developers and enterprise users will only be possible if I dedicate 100% of my time to building out the Vue and Vuetify ecosystem. I want to give developers and businesses from around the world a platform that they can use to succeed.
The future
If this project has enabled you or your organization to do great things, I'm calling for your support. In the coming months I will be expanding the reach of Vuetify's community and support network by working with project backers and community members to help fine-tune the underdeveloped areas of the framework. The documentation will be updated with new guides, better examples, more resources and better i18n support.
Some other exciting features on the Roadmap:
- Front-end component pack 10 new components catered towards enhancing the front-end capabilities of your application (from backers)
- Back-end component pack 10 new components focused on providing solutions for common issues in dashboard based applications, CRUDs, etc (from backers)
- Vue/Vuetify video course A video tutorial series for Vue and Vuetify (from backers)
- Alpha theme A pre-built premium theme made for the front-end
- Improved and additional free themes I will be improving the current offerings and adding additional templates that are, and will always be, free
- Improved international support I will be working close with the community to ensure that Vuetify has the best possible support for all languages and locations
- Improved enterprise support Many Vuetify developers are part of organizations that want to know their investment is going to be supported. We will reach stable version v1.0 in December with additional plans for LTS (long-term support) following
Thank you
These are just a few of the many features and enhancements in store. I cannot wait to share the rest with you in the near future. I want to personally thank you and everyone else for your unwavering support. By whatever means you ended up here, I cannot express to you how grateful I am that you gave Vuetify a chance.
Awesome news, John! Can't wait to see what's coming. Vuetify rocks!
Future is coming ...
Great news, John. Let me know if you need any help with the "validation" side of things π
Awesome! Vuetify rocks!
Awesome news, and congrats John! Hope to see this project continue growing :)
Way to fucking go dude
Awesome John!
Brilliant news, John! And I hope this will last for a long, long time in order to have a reliable framework that's going to stay. To have this commitment and view of the future is a very important point to convice bosses using open source like Vuetify. Thanky you very much! π
good news!
Awesome!
Wow, this keeps getting better! Wishing you the best of luck on this journey, John! πββοΈπ
what about RTL support?
That's wonderful news, John.
Question to all colleague devs... which templates (styles) are you using for the moment ?
Do you maybe have some links or inspiration available ?
(I'm a dev, and no designer at all, that's why I'm asking)
To give some more details.
Till a couple of months ago, I was a Bootstrap user.
My fav theme was The Project
A sober, though nice interface, with some attractive stuff for the end-user (like there are the "tabs")
Can we do something similar with Material ? If so, where can I find some examples ?
Thanks in advance for your time to reply,
Johnny
Excited π―
Vuetify already provides an edge to Vue over other libraries. ;)

Best of Luck π₯
Way to go @johnleider
Awesome! You are the best!
What about Sass support/port? @johnleider
{ PS: I think I am well experienced in Sass, knowledgeable in stylus and can help }
Awesome news! Congrats!
great news John!
Awesome, vuetify has been awesome so far!
Awesome!, and all is becoming in a dream job for you @johnleider Go for it Vuetify and Vue
Excelent news
Awesome! Vue and Vuetify for ever <3
Nice work @johnleider, i will love to see the style also improve so much. For now i still combine Bootstrap 4 with vuetify in order to have better styling.
Congrats!
Thank you for your hard work John! Vuetify has brought much joy to my dev life.
Awesome!
Brilliant work @johnleider!!! hope you the best.. and also @logaretm nice work on vee-validate
you guys ROOCK!!! π₯ π₯
I am so appreciative of your great work!!
I am really happy to meet VuetifyJS. Thank you!!
@holuborhee : Small question.
Saw you're combining Vuetify with BS4.
Do you recommend this (in other words, this it work well ?)
As you can see in my post above, I'm also looking for a bit more attractive / creative themes...
Grtz,
Johnny.
@jdriesen Yeah, i recommend it, it at least satisfy to my own taste of attractiveness. Will be launching soon an application, where i combined the two
@holuborhee ... Well, these days, I'm a bit lost in the 'template' world.
We are having Bootstrap, Material, and Material for Bootstrap ...
If I can ask ...
The application you're going to launch.... is it public ?
Are you maybe willing to share some printscreens ?
Grtz,
Johnny
Excited π―
Great decision. I could tell on day one this was 'the shit'. No doubt you'll be successful.
@jdriesen I'll release more information very very soon, ty for your patience.
AwesomeοΌοΌ
@johnleider : Thanks for your time to reply.
It's 7 AM, though you already made my day (and weekend) with your announcement.
Thanks again,
Kind regards,
Johnny
Very good!
This exact ui framework made me pick up vuejs in the first place, amazing.
You made the right choice, congratulations!
Amazing news!
Awesome! Thanks for amazing works!
John:
After too many years with software pioneers, four startups, and six years of early retirement, vue and vuetify have inspired me to get back into the game. Congratulations on your move - I look forward to the fruits of your boldness..

As a UI/UX Designer, I am really enjoying the elegant way Vuetify works and the huge support from the Vuetify community.
@RGFanker : This is just a friendly question from an non-designer...
The current default topmenu and especially the tabs are looking rather 'block-ish'.
Can you maybe give us some hints / tips to make this a bit more attractive
(I'm thinking about a transparant background, but, once again, I don't know if this is the way to go..)
Grtz,
Johnny
Thank you for doing this John!
@RGFanker :
Thanks for your reply.
I'm currently travelling...
I'll give more details in about 24 hrs.
Congratulations! Looking forward to the new stuff coming. I can help out with Spanish translations.
Muito obrigada por fazer o Vuetify @johnleider
π
@RGFanker :
Sorry I wasn't able to reply yesterday.
I'll hereby give you some more details.
I'm currently working on a "Sports Teams Mgt System" (non-commercial project)
In a couple of words... it's an App in which I can CRUD Teams, their players, their sponsors, etc...
As you can see 
I've been playing a bit with the colors in stylus/main.styl, but that's where my knowledge stops....
I'm an ex-bootstrap user. One of my favorite themes is named the_project
It's sober, light, and very user friendly. (it has a clear and lightweight topmenu, nice and goodlooking tabs, etc)
I'm aware the "rounded" tabs are maybe not possible when using Vuetify (and I'm not expecting this :) ), but I really hope there is a possibility to get rid of the current "block-look"...
I've been searching a lot on the net to try to find an good-looking layout for a CRUD App, but I couldn't find anything....
I really hope somebody can give me some tips or guidelines,
And I'm rather sure this will help other devs with "limited UI / UX design skills" as well :) .
Thanks in advance for any reply.
Grtz.
Update: Only now, I'm seeing [this Roadmap] (https://vuetifyjs.com/vuetify/roadmap)
Seems we can expect enhancements Q2 / Q3 2018.
Looking forward to it.
Thanks for your great job, @johnleider !
For all devs looking for a multilanguage integration, I can really recommend vue-multilanguage. Works like a charm. (I'm using external translation files)
@jdriesen For any questions about Vuetify please visit official discord channel: https://chat.vuetifyjs.com
Sorry @jacekkarczmarczyk
Didn't know about the official Discord Channel.
Apologies !
I always found vuetify an amazing project, When I use it, I am always surprised on how evrything was well designed, I am sure with this step the project will have an even brighter future.
π
Awesome! Just in time when I'm about to build a back-end app for a project. Thank you for doing this.
Awesome John!
Vuetify is just amazing you know.
Glad to see those clear roadmap.
Thank you for your dedication.
Thanks John for your excellent work and dedication. You rock
Congratulations! Looking forward to the new stuff. I can help out with Ukrainian translations.
just write to doubledare704@gmail.com
Not only providing an excellent framework but also a great guy. Thanks man! you can be sure that your work is helping many others to achieve their professional goals.
Awesome news! Vuetify has made building my first complex web app so much more manageable. I'm excited to see what the future holds
@johnleider This is really a great news, which means we will have strong support in the future for your project, and it's a really, really good news. I just have a question, probably because I didn't fully understand the meaning of "from backers" in your future addition. Do you mean the components will be developped by project backers? But will be freely available? It's just we are a starting business and can't patron right now, but will probably be in the future as Vue+Vuetify will be our working base in the future. Thanks for your answers.
Great job @johnleider, Vuetify is awesome!
Great news @johnleider, Vuetify is awesome!
on behalf of your international fans I hope you release RTL support soon.
thank you
Vuetify is just great, thanks for all the hard work and best of luck man, cheers!!
Thanks for your working, you are the best! π
Great news!
thank you! very like your project
Is there a plan where backers could give towards implementing a feature? Like bounty source approach?
@mitar Backers have a special channel in discord where they already communicate these requests. There is currently no bounty source but I'm not opposed to it.
@johnleider η₯δ½ ζεοΌ
Best of luck! The community needs people like you with that passion and drive!
I applaud your efforts.
Best material designed component framework for Vue.js.
I'm using Vuetify for a large project, and would love to fix a bug I found in the text field component. It's driving me nuts. I'll pull the source and check out the internals soon.
@ray-winkelman can you head over to https://chat.vuetifyjs.com ? We can hash it out there.
Great way to go. Looking forward to have best vue material library. Thanks.
Thank you
Vuetify is an awesome project. Thank you for your great job, john...
Thanks dude! awesome news!!!
Great things are in store for you, John!! Keep up the amazing work!!
Hello,
We need RTL support too.
Thanks.
Awesome! looking forwards to use Vuetify soon!
Awesome. I have just started developing an app with Laravel + Vuetify and I am loving it so far. Thank you for you great work.
great news :) thanks a lot for all contributors, this project has helped us a lot
why don't you and the quasar guy partner up? seems a shame to see resources duplicated on two separate projects.
Great News, The best UI Framework for me, am a beginner and this day marks the start of my Vuetify journey, Anyone out there with good tutorials help a beginner out!.
Been using this a few weeks now and it's also my first time with Vue, couldn't have been luckier to find this framework. Keep up the good work!
Amazing framework! I'm.using in a reasonable sized project. Is there a date 1.0 is expected? Would like to upgrade if I have the time.
@KodiakSA - according to the roadmap it will be this month - https://vuetifyjs.com/vuetify/roadmap
What about Sass support/port?
{ PS: I think I am well experienced in Sass, knowledgeable in stylus and can help }
@IamManchanda, it would be awesome if you could help! Please take a look at the discussion at the bottom of #2371. In short, @johnleider is willing to support SASS/SCSS if someone takes care of Stylus-to-SASS/SCSS compiling (which is not as scary as it sounds, see discussion).
