When I heard that SAP is working on Spartacus - a storefront framework based on Angular - I was super excited and couldn't wait to try it out. In fact, I had the privilege to work on one of the first Spartacus integration for the high street beauty brand. I must admit it was challenging. The new storefront (Spartacus) that was based on a framework (Angular) that has a steep learning curve, poor documentation and lack of a wider community around it didn't make things any easier.
Now looking at how VueStorefront (VS for short) which is another storefront to integrate with CMS approaches a market let me be optimistic about the future of frontend integrations. The VueStorefront was initially developed by the same company responsible for Spartacus and only recently become an independent company. Lesson learned from working on Spartacus and bringing it into the market must have an impact on how guys decided to introduce VueStorefront to the world.
