+ Quasar is a powerful set of components which uses the Material UI design system.  While the styles are quite plain on their own (and perhaps even off-putting), it is easy to customize it.  I have used it extensively for my own projects like [Turas.app](https://turas.app), [Turas.app Chrome Extension](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/turasapp/lpfijfdbgohlblnadiokliolkkeeblpo), [Zeeq.ai](https://zeeq.ai), and [CodeRev.app](https://coderev.app).  It is easy and fast; great for internal tooling and more than usable for public facing apps.

 This project has been configured with Material Design Icons for Quasar.  If you'd like to use a different configuration, [see the Quasar docs](https://quasar.dev/start/vite-plugin#using-quasar).

-One key note is that the approach used in this project with Vite loses some of the power of Quasar as it does not take advantage of the Quasar CLI (one of the best parts of Quasar).  [The Quasar team is working on swapping WebPack for Vite](https://github.com/quasarframework/quasar/issues/11113).
