Hi 👋
This issue is packed with deep dives into Vue state management, hidden Nuxt 3 → 4 features and migration tips, plus fresh tools for better DX - from Nuxt MCP and Nuxt UI updates to source maps, Zod, backend basics, and new cross‑platform UI libraries.
Besides that, I’m actively migrating my
Nuxt Starter Kit
from nuxt-auth-utilsnuxt-auth-utils to better-authbetter-auth , which drastically reduces the amount of auth code I need to maintain.
Enjoy this issue and have a lovely week ☀️
