Great article! You touched on something I really felt when I was considering vuepress (I ended up going with Nuxt) — they built it specifically for tech documentation, and kind of ignored the needs of people who wanted to use it for blogs. Which I thought was odd, considering the name is a play off of wordpress, which is a platform that absolutely answers to the needs of blog sites.
Thanks for reading my article! Glad you found it helpful 😃. The product is still young, but I think they will eventually expand their features to be beyond just a tech doc site soon. Once that happens, it will be VuePress all the way 😆. in the mean time, nuxt is such a fantastic choice. Did you use it to build a blog?
Yeah! My wife runs travelingcircusofurbanism.com and I built it with Nuxt. I actually find myself using it to make most web projects these days — having already figured out SEO and multi-language and static generating it's just a huge kickstart to my projects, regardless of the minor additional bloat that might come with it. (It's bad practice, but... I'll take the trade haha)
Whoa! amazing site, thanks for sharing! The design is 🔥
Is that lazy image loading you're using. My blog is so image heavy, so I'm thinking of doing lazy image loading to hopefully it will improve performance 🤔
Thanks! And yes! Luckily vue has vue-lazyload which makes things super easy. I also have a custom script running on my build step that uses Sharp to automatically make a really tiny version of all my photos that displays until the big size loads.
