Home • GitHub • npm • YouTube • Contact

Gun-Vue empowers you to build Offline-First, Progressive Web Apps (PWA) that run in any modern browser and securely synchronize data Peer-to-Peer (P2P) in Real-time without centralized servers.

Gun-Vue utilizes three powerful technologies:

• Peer-to-Peer (P2P) powered by Gun
• Cryptography powered by SEA
• Web Apps powered by Vue 3

...and combines this Next-Gen Tech Stack into a collection of Features built from Composables and Components, that make Decentralized Web (DWeb) development Fast & Fun! These features are showcased in the Gun-Vue: 📱 Demo App, so you can start experimenting right now:
