Let's build a point of sale system, using a Vue or two!
summary
Contracted to deliver a working point-of-sale in three weeks, builds a Vue.js front end on top of Rails, uses Vue.js + Bootstrap for UI, Vuex for state, and viewx-shared-mutations to mirror a customer screen. Backend returns base64 ESC/POS blobs and a tiny Ruby print server pipes them to an ESC/POS thermal printer attached to a Raspberry Pi. Prototype ships in ~two weeks, prints receipts and syncs two screens reliably; Windows driver issues force the Pi-as-printer workaround.
