+## Features
+> About this template project
+
+- Made with Vue 3.
+- Served as HTML and JS static assets.
+- Uses ESModules so you can use `import` syntax.
+- No build step needed.
+- No need for Node or Vue CLI.
+- No need for `package.json` or other JS configs.
+- Hosted with GitHub Pages for free.
+
+
+## What is Vue?
+
+Vue is "The Progressive Frontend Framework".
+
+It add can be interactivity to your website. Either as components on an existing site, or for designing your entire site as a Single-Page Application.
+
+More readable and robust than jQuery. Vue is declarative so you don't have to worry about low-level operations like finding an element and changing its value.
+
+Vue is similar to React, but many including myself believe that Vue is easier to learn and use.
+
+See my [Resources](https://michaelcurrin.github.io/dev-resources/resources/javascript/packages/vue/) page to learn more about Vue.
+
+
+
+## Developer notes
+
+Browse builds available:
+
+- https://unpkg.com/browse/vue@3.0.7/dist/
+
+The `vue.esm-browser.js` build was selected - for ESModule load in the browser including a template compiler.
+
+Using `vue.runtime.esm-browser.js` gave an error:
+
+    [Vue warn]: Component provided template option but runtime compilation is not supported in this build of Vue. Use "vue.esm-browser.js" instead.
+    at <App> vue.runtime.esm-browser.js:1186:17
+
+Also, I tried using JSPM for CDN but gave errors importing Vue - switching to unpkg with ESModule type was fine.
