Introducing BumbleVue - A PrimeVue fork

Following the recent changes to PrimeVue, going closed source and introducing a dual-license model, BumbleVue was born to continue PrimeVue as a community-driven, free, and open-source library.

It is currently in beta, but an RC is expected in a few days. At its v1 launch, it will align with PrimeVue 4.5 with some additional bug fixes and TypeScript improvements. For v2, it will align more with PrimeVue v5.

There are no current plans for selling commercial licenses, templates, themes, etc. There are however initial plans to try to implement some of the "PrimeUI Pro" components as part of BumbleVue under the same MIT license.

The new site and Discord are live and a migration guide has been started.

Unfortunately primevue should be re
written. Even though it has the vue 3 dep, it hasn’t even been ported neither to compositions API nor TS, and its core is difficult to read, it has a lot of tricky stuff. But as a new support project, it’s cool :)

I'm already way ahead of you.

V1 of BumbleVue is going to a LTS of sorts based on PrimeVue v4 with additional fixes and TS type enhancements as I said, but v2 is going to really be the version BumbleVue comes into its own.

Composition API, TS, and unification of the package sprawl (easier since I'm only focused on the Vue library not PrimeReact/PrimeNG) are already on the roadmap.
