  I've been using Elk for the last few weeks, it's really good and a brilliant example of how to build a performant PWA. I prefer it to the standard client and the others I have tried. It "feels native" despite being written in JS with Vue.

  It's incredible what they have achieved in such a short about of time, the first commit was November 13th. It's a testament to both the people building it but also the tools they are using, Vue.js and Nuxt.

  A number of the developers are core team members of Vue and Nuxt so it is the perfect codebase to study for inspiration and direction on how to use them.

  This may fill the hole that Pinafore might leave for some (it just became unmaintained and it's not clear who will pick it up).
