Future of this package

[harlan-zw]

Hey @voorjaar

Firstly, thanks for adding me to the org.

Was wondering if you'd be open to the idea of having someone take over the core development of this package?

The package is great and will likely be a dependency of a lot webpack-based Vue frameworks (Nuxt v2, vue-cli, etc). However for it to scale to these frameworks and reach further adoption, I feel like this package needs quite a bit of work.

In my mind that work would look like

• using a new js package that pulls out the duplicated logic from different implementations - have messaged @antfu about using his box implementation from the vite plugin
• get feature parity with the Vite plugin (where it's possible)
• add testing
• work on a v3 which would use a webpack plugin over a loader. It would be better suited to handle further features and optimisations and gives a better DX

For the last point, I think it would make sense to do one of the two (when the implementation is ready):

a. We create a new package called vue-windicss-webpack-plugin and we deprecate this one b. We rename this package to vue-windicss-webpack-plugin

vue-windicss-preprocess is a bit too ambiguous at the moment and doesn't limit the scope of what the package is trying to accomplish.

If all sounds good to you, would be great if I could get elevated permissions to this package and permission on npm to handle the release (username: harlan_zw).

Thanks either way and look forward to contributing where I can.

FYI, we have the npm org @windicss, so many we can have @windicss/webpack-plugin-vue or `@windicss/webpack-loader-vue. /cc @voorjaar

I think this will be the best path forward actually. I didn't want to make it confusing to other developers which package should be used but I think this can become clearer once the other one is up and stable.

Will keep this closed for now*.

Sorry for the delay. I just discussed with my team member, we think most of your ideas are great, but we want to modify a bit. vue-windicss-webpack-plugin is unnecessary, we want a windicss-webpack-plugin that support vue, react, svelte at the same time. But you can support vue first, then the others. if this works for you, then welcome to join. And I will archive the vue loader. @loonpwn
