I was really hoping they would increase the deployment package size.
Currently it is at 250Mb unzipped including all layers.

Hi, I am a solo founder building ChartPoet (https://chartpoet.com).
ChartPoet is like Google docs for databases. ChartPoet provides an excel/sheets like collaborative environment for databases so that people who dont know SQL can work on querying and visualizing data. Have a look (Access Pin: 7612) at this

Will really appreciate some feedback.

OP! Nice of you to ship this. We need more of editors and self publishing platforms.
I tried creating an editor a few years ago at my last job [1]. It is really hard to get all things correct when implementing your editor, with all quirks that contendeditable has.

At my last job we did a comparison between Vue and React before rewriting a major frontend application.
We did a POC in both React/Vue and ended up using Vue mainly due to the following reasons:
Single File Components
Single file components (.vue files) is the best thing about Vue. I understand this might be a personal preference, but we wanted to avoid CSS-IN-JS. Our designer could churn out neat html/css, but was a beginner in Javascript. With Vue's single file components, he could also hack parallely with us while iterating on html/css.
Standard / Official way of doing things
This again is a personal preference but Vuejs comes with a recommended way to do a majority of things. Vuex(state management) and Vue-Router are provided/maintained by same Vue core team.
React at times can be overwhelming for beginnners, just because of the amount of choice available
Example:
Google Search for 'React CSS style' [https://www.google.co.in/search?q=react+css+style] points to a bunch of links all of which link to valid solutions, but I have to go through a few of them before I get what I am looking for.
Similar search for 'Vue CSS style' [https://www.google.co.in/search?q=vue+css+style] all top links lead to official documenation on vuejs.org.
Excellent documentation
Also, as a team we were primarily writing Angular 1 when we decided to choose a frontend framework for newer projects. I feel this also made our transition to Vue easier vis a vis React

We havent yet released the product, so we dont really have metrics around usage from international users.
We could launch English only for now, making sure that the application is ready to be internationalized in the future.
