very interested in the vuejs implementation. How soon is soon, now that its moving to open source?

Odds are, never. If some volunteer open-source developer decides to pick it up, it might happen, but as the company's shutting down, any "soon" promised by them in the past is obviously now a "never".

Note: That page is clearly just their old homepage + the shutdown message; whatever it says was written pre-shutdown.

Sad but true, from having seen upfront a similar process. It takes just a fraction of work to bundle all the tech up for open source, but at the point of shutdown everyone is usually just toast... sadness to it too. Most people can't put in that day or two required to jettison it into open source land, right now, and then in a month or two the rot has already set in.

Hopefully these guys buck the trend, because there looks like there is some cool stuff in there.

The link to the source is right on the page? https://github.com/Pagedraw/pagedraw

This is correct. We wanted to preserve the pre-shutdown homepage, but there is no future development planned.

Me too :)

I didn't find "vue" anywhere in the source except for the logo in the landing page. No branches besides master, so if there was any effort put in to supporting Vue by the pagedraw team it didn't make it to this open source release.

Still, it's great the source got released, thank you Pagedraw folks!
