Next time you have second thoughts about a premise for a project, read the premise for Bee Movie again and remember it made almost $294 million

Today I’ve partially (~80%) updated an app from Vue 2 to Vue 3.

Painful, because:
- Vue 3 isn’t fully documented, yet.
- The browser dev tools for Vue 3 are still in beta and buggy.

So, don’t be like me: wait. :D

"Me?"
"You. The evil god wakes. Without you, he cannot be defeated."

"She's the ultimate warrior."
"But... Why don't you ask her?"
"She is scary!"
"She's not!"
"We chose wisely."

”TikTok is introducing Americans to a question that Europeans have struggled with for 20 years: a lot of your citizens might use an Internet platform created somewhere that doesn’t know or care about your laws or cultural attitudes and won’t turn up to a committee hearing.”

Your biz says native apps are the way they wanna go,
Your ask them "web app plz?" but they still say no.
They say that for engagement only native apps work,
Forgetting mobile web and all the modern web perks.

You gotta fight, for your right... to P.W.A.
