Happy Paws - Fullstack, SEO friendly, performant app with Nuxt & Tailwind CSS

Nuxt 3 Fullstack (SPA-SSR) app for an pet adoption organisation. Pet data is fetched via APIs served by server routes (Nitro-powered), statically generated articles fetched from an external REST API source, a blog authored with markdown files, and everything styled with the power and beauty of Tailwind CSS.

This is a sample project created using the Vue Designer Nuxt Tailwind CSS - Quick start template.
