This is the code for the FullStackWeekly website. You can use it as a starter pack for your WordPress site as well.

Since WordPress can expose a REST API, this project uses Vue.js, Vue-router, Vuex, Vue-resource & Progressive Web App techniques to create an offline-first web client.

You can also fork the project and host it on Azure App Services with continuous integration using the deploy.cmd file (included)
