Superb introduction to Vuido. Just a heads up, if your are copy/pasting the code into your application, there is a missing

You could also declare a variable for your API key so it would be easier to import from env variables:
Thanks for spotting this and for the advice! Fixed ;)
Thank you for this article. If possible, I would like to translate this article and share it with Korean developers, can I translate it?

Awesome! Thank you for you work on this translation =)
Nice writeup! I think your executable is probably bigger because of the Axios library also being included.
Yes, probably without dependencies it'd be around 20Mb indeed :)
The Linux and Mac packages are actually bigger, but the Windows 32-bit version is around 20 MB ;)
Hi Michal! First of all I want to thank you for your work on Vuido and LaunchUI! Awesome projects and awesome documentation!
Indeed, just checked and Windows 32-bit package is 22.4 Mb (probably a bit more for Axios, as mentioned in comments)
And I thank you very much for writing this great article :)
This is a really good article, with one thing off: Electron apps are not desktop apps. Please stop suggesting that.
Electron is a huge resource hog. Running three of them easily eats up all my 8GB of memory. It’s not a solution, but a problem. If you want desktop apps, write desktop apps.
Alternatively, you can use NW.js. It's all the same features as Electron, but uses much less resources. If lower resources are your highest priority though, then go with LibUI-Node/Vuido.
Well, this is a good point to look at while building an Electron app ;)
Awesome! I think Vue with be the next big thing :)
Really hope so :)
It will be! too many big tech companies use it worldwide!
You've left out NW.js, which has great Vue support. There is nw-vue-devtools, which unlike Electron is always the latest most up-to-date version of Vue's dev tools. There is Vue-Desktop-Basic, NWjs-Vue, NW-Skeleton, and Vue-NW-Seed for boilerplates. NO ONE should be using Electron. With that sad, glad to see Vuido/LibUI-Node getting some attention.
Thank you! Will look into it
I am brands new to Vue and am thinking of starting a project for a desktop application using Vue. I also like Quasar and I'm wondering, if I start the project using Vuido will I be able to add Quasar on as well? Thanks.
I was just wondering if it was possible to use Vue with Electron so I'm looking forward to the next article!
Yes, it's definitely possible! Will publish it soon
Really interesting article! Now I'm wondering what I want to build with Vuido!
It's nice but without an ability to customize interface it's not so good as it could be.
I wonder if it supports menubar apps on mac/win. Anybody?
Thank you! Yeah it's still very new but already looks nice
I've made the exact same thing using, Native-Script vue (on IOS and Android) !
Seems like OpenWeatherMap is a good start for a first app.
Props for using nativescript-vue! Awesome choice for native mobile apps ;)
Yeah I like OpenWeatherMap API, very nice and clear :)
Natalia this is brilliant! thank you so much! - looking forward to the electron version!!
Thanks Diana! You know I will do it soon =)
