172Thursday, January 23, 2020Good and bad news from the team; Vue-Watch – the go-to place for finding quality Vue libraries and more!
Hello,
let’s start with the good news first. The vue-test-utils project has now 4 new maintainers: Jessica Sachs, Lachlan Miller, Dobromir Hristov and Adria Fontcuberta and they just shipped their first release of the library. So glad to have you all on board! Welcome to the gang!
As for the bad news – this is likely the first time I’m actually feeling sad to deliver the news since the inception of this newsletter. That’s because the long time member of the Vue core team – Chris Fritz – had decided to leave the team. We’ve meet a few years back at the first VueConf and ever since then I considered him a mentor figure to me. One of the nicest and smartest people I ever had the pleasure to work with.
If one of the reasons why you started using Vue were the amazing docs – this is largely due to him being the long time curator of the Vue documentation. But his work was more than just the docs. Chris has contributed to how the Vue core and the official supporting libraries look like right now. He has also helped establish good practices, the official style guide and (if you remember Vue 1.x) the migration helper. This and much more!
This is a huge loss for the team, the Vue-ecosystem and the whole community in general. We will be missing you Chris! 💚 Good luck in whatever you plan on doing next!
You can read the whole announcement here. It’s also a good place to say the much deserved “thank you” for all the heart he has put into Vue.
I wish you a great week,
