OpenVue as an alternative to PrimeVue

[NJevric]

H,

I noticed that the Pastefy frontend currently runs on PrimeVue 4 (primevue ^4.3.2 in frontend/package.json)

For teams looking to keep their frontend stack on an actively maintained community driven MIT foundation based on the 4.x lineage I wanted to share OpenVue

OpenVue is an open source fork based directly on PrimeVue 4.5.5 under the MIT license Because it maintains strict API component and theming parity with the 4.x base it serves as a drop in replacement allowing migration in just a few minutes without refactoring existing UI code

We recently reached our 1.0.0 stable release and are continuously maintaining and updating the codebase for the community

Since Pastefy is an MIT licensed project that people self host having an actively maintained MIT option for the 4.x line might be worth considering as the frontend stack evolves

The migration is a single command that shows a plan first and asks before writing anything

npx @openvue/migrate

It renames the dependencies and rewrites the imports including @primeuix/themes which you also use and it leaves tailwindcss-primeui in place so the existing Tailwind setup is not touched

Here are a few quick references if you would like to explore

Would love to hear the team thoughts and I am happy to help answer any technical questions if anyone decides to give it a try

Thanks for taking a look
