 RepoSense uses **Vue.js** (Vue3) in its front-end implementation. In particular, major user interface components, such as [summary view](report.html#summary-view-v-summary-js), [authorship view](report.html#authorship-view-v-authorship-js), and [zoom view](report.html#zoom-view-v-zoom-js), are implemented as Vue components.
