Building Elk: Rapid Development with Nuxt 3
summary
Elk is a Nuxt 3–built Mastodon client that actually ships: a multi‑account, installable PWA with push, localization, lists and UI niceties, plus a hacked native variant running the server logic in‑process. The project grows fast with 130 contributors and almost 2,000 commits, and production traffic exposes real constraints — about 32 million uncached requests over 30 days — driving concrete choices around rendering, caching and storage.
