Quasar — In Real Life: #003 (Keyzy.io)

In this series of mini-articles, developers using the Quasar Framework explain their motivations for and use-cases of some really awesome thing that they have done with Quasar.

Case Study

WHO: Keyzy, LLC
WHAT: Keyzy is a software / IoT license-manager in the cloud
HOW: Quasar Framework frontend interface to software

We call Keyzy the “painless license manager”. It generates, deposits and activates licenses for software and IoT products. We enable this license data to be integrated with marketing tools and with e-commerce stores as well — in fact Keyzy can be used with any software. Even with web apps (like Sendy for example).

As an example, a software / IoT company that needs to manage many licensed artifacts can use Keyzy for their big blow-out sale to automatically send marketing messages with an integrated licensing solution — almost without writing any code. They just need to include our easy-to-use client library for C++ (other languages will be supported too).

In order to help our customers manage their products, we needed a single page application for the administration interface. We determined that our front-end interface must:
- make it straightforward to manage the licenses
- be dead-simple to configure
- have a variety of well-tested components
- look good while getting out of the user’s way

It was hard to find a framework that delivered all of these requirements, but then we discovered Quasar. Our devs love to build with this Vue.js based system, especially because its components are extremely solid, trivial to combine and have a modern look: All of the inputs, check boxes, combos and others are quick to style and position because of its Flexbox CSS solution.

Maybe I forgot to write here that Quasar Framework is very easy to use. Its CLI makes scaffolding, linting, building and extending very easy. Its dev-build process uses Webpack that you can even extend, and its live-reload really speeds up development iterations. Normally, we would need to spend days just to start a simple project with all of these features. By using Quasar, this super boring job doesn’t even take 5 minutes (and always gets it technically perfect!). It looks stylish and great even with the default settings. You don’t have to be a designer or have a designer to have a decent frontend from the very beginning of your project. Quasar helps you with that. It looks NEW and it’s multi-platform. Razvan, his team and the entire community are doing a very good job, we really appreciate it.
