I recently discovered Vue.js and I really liked it. You just have to add a script tag and you can start coding using this framework.

After a few hours of development, I decided to use SFC (Single File Components) to separate business code from components. And I got a really bad surpise! In order to compile those templates I needed to use a build system (Webpack or Browserify). The tutorial is really good, but…

GOD I DON’T WANT TO INSTALL 200MB OF DEPENDENCIES AND WRITE 200+SLOC BUILD FILE.

I need to keep things simple, I don’t need Babel, I know how to write JS. I can rant on this for hours. I started looking around for an alternative solution. And found this interesting thread. So no simple solution out there.

This is why I started vuecc project. It only depends on html-minifier and brings less than 3MB of dependencies.

Not everything is supported but for the moment it fits my needs. Simple to use, it outputs understandable javascript. I will surely add features when time will come to support things like isolation or javascript compression.
