[AskJS] Has anyone tested Nuxt 4 yet? Share your experience? [AskJS] Has anyone tested Nuxt 4 yet? Share your experience?

Hey everyone,

Nuxt 4 just dropped recently, and we’re curious about its real-world performance.

Has anyone started using it in development or production? Would love to hear:

  • How stable is it so far?

  • Any major improvements or breaking changes compared to Nuxt 3?

  • Any gotchas, pitfalls, or migration issues you ran into?

  • Is it safe to start new projects on Nuxt 4, or is Nuxt 3 still the better choice for now?

We’re planning to rebuild a fairly large dashboard app (currently on Nuxt 1 😅), so any advice or experience would be super helpful before we commit.

Thanks in advance!

Imagine this:

You click a button on your app. That triggers a fetch call. That fetch hits your backend. Backend talks to another service. Something breaks.

Now imagine — instead of digging through 5 logs and matching timestamps — you just search by traceId and BOOM 💥 — a plain-English timeline shows up:

“User clicked ‘Pay Now’ → Frontend triggered API /checkout → Server responded 500 (Payment failed)”

✅ One traceId ✅ Logs from frontend, backend, and API calls stitched together ✅ AI writes the story for you — no more piecing logs manually ✅ No console.log spaghetti or GA event boilerplate

I’m building a frontend SDK to auto-trace clicks, logs, and API calls. You just wrap your handlers, and the rest is magic.

No more saying: “What just happened?” Start reading the story instead.

Would love thoughts, feedback, or validation. Who else wants this?

[AskJS] javascript library for drag and drop suggestion needed from experts [AskJS] javascript library for drag and drop suggestion needed from experts

Just discovering this reddit and have a question from a noob. I have an app requirement that needs to have a ui to design a floor shift using full drag and drop pre-built shift components e.g. breaks, regular shift, overtime, etc. This will be saved tot backend and then used as template for shift assignments. We use Edge and Chrome primarily and the apps life will be about 7 years. What frameworks (not from one off dudes with 0 updates last several years !) could meet the need ? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.
