Questions regarding development environment, dependencies, and potential package updates. about glance HOT 1 OPEN

Thanks for your interest! I've provided some responses below.

• ideally we'd want to use the latest versions of node/npm. The only hard constraint would be the packages used for this project, so it's related to updating the packages.
• Certain dependencies cannot have their major versions updated without code changes. In particular, vtk.js cannot be updated yet. Most others can be, but I haven't done a blanket upgrade to see what breaks. (e.g. webpack 4 to 5)
• vue3 would be nice. We'd have to stick with the options API for now, since rewriting to the composition API is a lot of work at the moment. Relevant: https://v3-migration.vuejs.org/breaking-changes/
• Some of those vulns might be via kw-doc. Ideally we'd migrate to readthedocs or another doc generation tool. Vulns related to kw-doc should be mostly minor, but addressing them is ideal.

A good first step would be to try to update some of the dependencies. A more focused task that might be fairly isolated would be to upgrade to vue3 and see how much work is necessary to address any breaking changes.

Other nice-to-haves:

• migrate to vite for nicer developer tooling
• upgrade to vuetify 3 (major underaking)
