## What it is
A distributed application (dApp) starter kit that pairs a Vue.js front-end with an Ethereum smart contract backend and IPFS for content distribution. It bundles build tooling (webpack, Truffle, Ganache), MetaMask integration, and an IPFS publish pipeline so state lives on-chain and HTML is delivered from the IPFS network.

## Use cases
- boilerplate for building a decentralized app with vue and ethereum
- start a dapp project with a vue frontend and ipfs backend
- deploy a vue webapp to ipfs
- template for an ethereum smart contract web app
- build an indestructible website hosted on ipfs
- starter kit for web3 development with vue
- integrate metamask and web3 contracts into a vue app

## When to choose
- You want to scaffold a dApp combining Vue, Ethereum smart contracts, and IPFS hosting in one project
- You need a ready-made pipeline that compiles Solidity contracts with Truffle and publishes the built Vue app to IPFS
- You're experimenting with fully decentralized frontends where application state is kept on-chain

## When to avoid
- You need a maintained starter - the last release dates to 2018 and it uses older Vue/webpack tooling
- You're building a conventional server-backed web app with no blockchain or IPFS component
- You require production-grade or current-best-practice Ethereum/web3 tooling
