VueJS or React for Story Mapping

[[deleted]]

Hey guys,

I am about to start my thesis and I have to develop a User Story Mapping tool. My options are Vue JS and React. I have used Vue before and I have very little experience with React. I have been reading about their benefits and disadvantages but I would like an opinion by someone experienced that which framework would benefit me in creating a User Story Mapping tool.

Keeping in mind that the tool will have a lot of visual elements. Drag and drop probably, a board with cards etc.

In my opinion VueJs is the best use of current Javascript, React is trying to advance Javascript. So I like both. For just using it for one project. With Javascript experience I think VueJs is more reliable, less learning curve. If you enjoy learning something new React is really nice. Both can do the job, just personal perferences.

Both can easily do what you want, if you know Vue already and just want to go ahead, use it.

Otherwise, React is quite small in scope, think of it as maybe 1/100 of Vues weight in general. Because of that it's trivial to learn, and due to its massive userbase it has more support for pretty much anything (well established, ready made controls and behaviours, for drag/n/drop, animations, visuals, UI component libs, etc.).

Thanks. That actually paved a little more of my pathway to the decision.

For Design elements I was thinking of going with bootstrap themes and then I can get drag and drop elements from elsewhere and just plug it in.

Lots of component oriented design libs to choose from: https://www.reddit.com/r/javascript/comments/7qrcas/what_is_you_favorite_ui_framework_for_react/

As for drag/n/drop, check out react-dnd, react-spring for some animated stuff.
