Note from Cloudinary: Christian Nwamba, a frequent Cloudinary contributor, recently attended, and was a main speaker, at the Google Developer Group (GDG) Conference in Lagos, Nigeria. Christian led a session teaching more than 500 developers how to “Build Offline Apps for the Next Billion Users.” The stack he used included JS (Vue), Firebase, Service Workers and Cloudinary. Below is his account of the conference and his talk.
Update Cloudinary now has a new Vue SDK.
If you intend to build a photo gallery online, you have to seriously consider how to protect the images from users who are not buying them.

Vue.js is a progressive frontend framework which is the latest workflow and productivity trend. Its simplicity and approachability is what makes Vue.js outstanding among the pool of frontend frameworks. You may not be using Vue.js right now because you already know other JS frameworks and don’t want to learn another. But it’s important to keep in mind that a good framework is built to improve on the weaknesses of the existing ones. This is exactly what Vue.js has done.
