No worries, I spent a lot of time on it to understand. 

Some of the code is in the back end, so you might be missing parts of it in my source code. I made the back end source code public if you want to check it out. I might close it later tough. It is a little better structured so you should understand better. Might interest you as well @jedau https://github.com/Jrejoire/Inkito-ipfs/

Basically I followed the hive documentation, here: https://developers.hive.io/tutorials/#tutorials-javascript

And the hivesigner api for login, vote, follow etc... https://github.com/ledgerconnect/hivesigner.js

When you are say making a connection, are you at the initial config or trying to get information from Hive? Is it the Vue structure your troubled with? Maybe I can show a smaller example to help you out...
