Dear Vaadin Team,
I hope this message finds you well.
First and foremost, I want to express my deepest gratitude for your exceptional work in advancing Java-based web development. Vaadin stands out as a testament to innovation and user-centric design, offering developers an unparalleled experience. Your dedication to making modern web development simpler and more accessible is truly inspiring.
As a teacher, I’ve greatly benefited from your generosity in providing access to Vaadin Pro. This has been transformative for my students and has allowed me to introduce them to a cutting-edge approach to Java development. Your support for education is making a profound impact, and I cannot thank you enough for it.
On a broader note, I believe Vaadin has the potential to become the modern UI framework for Java. It aligns beautifully with the ecosystem’s needs, enabling developers to build powerful and elegant applications without the complexities of traditional front-end frameworks. I encourage you to explore partnerships with key players like Spring, Oracle, or the Jakarta EE community to elevate Vaadin’s visibility. It’s a natural fit for Java’s evolution, and with more recognition, Vaadin could become synonymous with modern Java UI development.
It saddens me that newer frameworks like Vue often gain widespread attention, despite a crowded field of tools like React and Angular, while Vaadin, with its simplicity and depth, remains less known. I truly believe that with greater exposure, developers would recognize Vaadin as the go-to solution for crafting seamless Java applications.
Thank you once again for your extraordinary work and for being such a generous partner to educators and students. Vaadin is shaping the future of Java development, and I look forward to seeing its continued growth and success.
Warm regards,
Luís Cunha / Portugal
