I didn't finish my submission for the Pusher contest on here, but I started to write a Vue app for that. It was my first experience really using a component-based JS framework. It took me a bit to get the hang of it, but the 'Aha!' moment came once I was able to grasp how easy it was to compose components and communicate up and down the component tree.

I'm a backend dev by day so I was a bit rusty on the frontend side of things, the last time I did frontend work was a SPA written with a bunch of spaghetti jQuery code about 5 years back.
