Yeah, if I don't find anybody, I will try to do it by myself. The backend will be made in Spring and I thought about using some template engine, like Thymeleaf to do the front. But I'd prefer to work with REST APIs.

Just create a single `.vue` file, run it with `vue build file.vue` and you can immediately just start hacking around. It can be even built that way for production.
Feels simple like in the old days with single index.html, but you aren't missing any features of modern frontend stack.
