+This guide outlines the architecture and technologies used to build the OpenBMC Web UI. This guide exists to serve the following goals:
+
+1. Improve contributor efficiency while maintaining the quality and consistency of the user interface
+1. Act as a collection of community agreed-upon standards
+

+- [Vue](https://vuejs.org/)
