Projects using Vue.js

Probably, at this time, you are wondering what projects are out there that are built on top of Vue.js, or use it as a part of their codebase. There are a lot of nice open source, experimental, and enterprise projects using it. The complete and constantly updated list of these projects can be found at https://github.com/vuejs/awesome-vue#projects-using-vuejs .

Let's have a look at some of them.

Grammarly

Grammarly ( https://www.grammarly.com/ ) is a service that helps you write English correctly. It has several apps, one of them is a simple Chrome extension that just checks any text input that you fill in. Another one is an online editor that you can use to check big chunks of text. This editor is built using Vue.js! The following is a screenshot of this text being edited in the online editor of Grammarly:

Optimizely

Optimizely ( https://www.optimizely.com/ ) is a service that helps you test, optimize, and personalize your websites. I've used the Packt site to create an Optimizely experiment and to check out Vue.js in action in this resource. It looks like the following:

Hovering around with the mouse gives us the possibility of opening a context menu that allows different manipulations with the page data, including the simplest one, text editing. Let's try this one:

The text box is opened. When I type in it, the text in the title is reactively changed. We saw and implemented it using Vue.js:

FilterBlend

FilterBlend ( https://github.com/ilyashubin/FilterBlend ) is an open source playground for the CSS background-blend-mode and filter properties.

You can load your images and combine blending with filters.

If you want to give FilterBlend a try, you can install it locally:

Clone the repository:

git clone https://github.com/ilyashubin/FilterBlend.git

Enter the FilterBlend directory:
```
cd FilterBlend
```
Install the dependencies:
```
npm install
```
Run the project:
```
gulp
```

Open your browser on localhost:8000 and play around. You can see that once you change something in the menu on the right, it is immediately propagated to the images on the left side. All this functionality is achieved using Vue.js. Check the code on GitHub.

PushSilver

PushSilver ( https://pushsilver.com ) is a nice and simple service for busy people to create simple invoices. It allows creating invoices, sending and resending them to the clients, and keeping tracking of them. It was created by a developer doing freelance consultancy and being tired of having to create invoices each time for each small project. This tool works well and it was built using Vue.js:
