Show HN: Gov.uk Vue, a Vue Component Library for the Gov.uk Design System
Haha, hi AL!
Yeah the target for this definitely isn't the regular transactional GOV.UK services. I've added a note at the top of the installation guide:
> GOV.UK Vue (or any JavaScript library) might not be suitable for your project if it's a standard transactional government service. Make sure you read the guidance on progressive enhancement and building more complex services before starting. GOV.UK Vue is designed to be used in more complex services, like interactive mapping, or internal tools where you've determined that JavaScript is acceptable.
GDS are also currently doing exploratory work to investigate how Frontend can be more closely integrated with React/Vue/Svelte/Angular etc, so it's definitely not verboten: https://github.com/alphagov/govuk-frontend/issues/5172
SSR/SSG is supported (the docs website is an SSG Nuxt app) but I need to do some work to improve how it works for certain components to ensure the state they're first rendered in is usable on its own (eg defaulting accordion components to open on the server-rendered version)

The Design System Ecosystem
It depends on the level of contribution.
You can contribute by responding to the discussions in the backlog[0], by improving the actual distributed styles and code[1] or suggesting improvements to the documentation in the link I posted above.
Bigger changes need to be backed up with user research, evidence of user needs and accessibility reviews and checks.

Can we at least modernize visually hidden?
However looking at the samples with modern browsers I was unable to see the overflow issue. So it might now be entirely possible that setting negative margin is not required anymore. And it happens to actually be harmful: negative margin can change the reading order in VoiceOver!

The impact of removing jQuery on our web performance
To that end, we're still in the process of dropping support for IE 8–10, along with reducing IE 11 to 'functional'—it doesn't always look the same, but users can still complete tasks.
