Vue.jsby Evan You
Evan You started Vue as a side experiment while working as a creative technologist at Google, then open sourced it in February 2014 after about six months of private development. A Hacker News launch and steady developer word of mouth grew it into one of the most popular JavaScript frameworks, with the project now funded by roughly 232 Patreon donors giving $16,547 per month. Evan has never directly sold the software, relying instead on sponsorships and a product he kept improving.
