+# webui-vue
+
+webui-vue is a web-based user interface for the OpenBMC firmware stack built on
+[Vue.js](https://vuejs.org/).
+
+### Hold on... What happened to phosphor-webui?
+
+[phosphor-webui](https://github.com/openbmc/phosphor-webui) was built on
+AngularJS and [AngularJS goes End of Life](https://www.convective.com/angularjs-end-of-life/)
+June 30, 2021, so this repository is hopefully its replacement. At this time,
+phosphor-webui still contains more features and you should consider using it.
+
+### When will this new Vue.js application reach feature parity with phosphor-webui?
+
+The current plan is by June 2020!
+
+### Why will this application be better?
+
+As mentioned, this application is built using Vue.js, a modern open-source
+Model-View-ViewModel JavaScript framework supported by an active community and
+strong documentation. It has been architected to allow organizations to easily
+update the theme to support their brand. This rewrite takes advantage of
+front-end development best practices and does not suffer from some of the
+anti-patterns that exist in phosphor-webui today.
+
+### How can I get involved?
+
+Visit the [CONTRIBUTING.md](CONTRIBUTING.md) for more on how to contribute code,
+review some code in
+[Gerrit](https://gerrit.openbmc-project.xyz/q/project:openbmc%252Fwebui-vue+status:open),
+or join us in the
+[GUI design workgroup meeting](https://github.com/openbmc/openbmc/wiki/GUI-Design-work-group).
