## What it is
A HackerNews clone built with Vue 2.0, vue-router, and vuex, demonstrating server-side rendering with data pre-fetching, client hydration, code splitting, and PWA features. It serves as the official companion demo to Vue's SSR documentation.

## Use cases
- learn how to build a server-side rendered Vue app
- see vue-router and vuex working together with SSR
- example of client-side state and DOM hydration
- reference for route-level code splitting in Vue
- build a progressive web app with Vue
- understand FLIP animations for real-time list updates

## When to choose
- you are learning Vue SSR and want an official reference implementation
- you need a working example of Vue 2 + vue-router + vuex integration
- you want to study PWA setup with service workers and app manifests

## When to avoid
- you need a production-ready starter template - this is a demo, not optimized for performance
- you are starting a new project with Vue 3 rather than Vue 2
- you need efficient API batching - the Firebase HN API used here is intentionally unoptimized
