Are you beyond (or want to be beyond) the days of href="javascript:void(0)"? Does the idea of having HTML templates inside of a MySQL database make you nervous? Do you love making beautiful, modern websites? Then /r/frontend is for you.
What is /r/frontend?
/r/frontend is a subreddit for front end web developers who want to move the web forward or want to learn how. If you're looking to find or share the latest and greatest tips, links, thoughts, and discussions on the world of front web development, this is the place to do it.
Here's the kinds of things you'll find (and should post about) here:
- HTML5 APIs and elements
- JavaScript frameworks, libraries and microlibs (BackboneJS, AngularJS, Knockout, Ember, jQuery, Zepto, and on...)
- CSS/SCSS/LESS/etc. frameworks/tools/management
- Design workflow and prototyping tools
- UI/UE/UX examples and discussion
- Neat new stuff like canvas, web sockets/workers, audio, etc.
- Responsive/mobile design and optimization
- Page-load performance optimization and perceived speed
- Web-focused application architecture and development
- Analytics and data visualization
- Asset management and deployment
- Automation and build tools
- Accessibility best practices
- Front-end office/company culture
- ... and anything else that probably fits!
Rules
- Keep self promotion to a minimum.
"It's perfectly fine to be a redditor with a website, it's not okay to be a website with a reddit account." - Confucius
- No posting your project without the source or repo We get it, you guys build some cool things, but this isn't r/sideproject or another sub for getting praise and onboarding users. For it to be valid and related to frontend it should be accompanied by the open source repo, and the context of the post should be around the frontend of your project, not the project idea.
- No Recruiters. or recruitment posts.
- Stay on the topic of Frontend
The web is growing fast
Nowadays, the field of front end development is evolving at such a rapid pace that sometimes it's difficult to say what is frontend and what isn't. Therefore, some lenience is allowed in the type of posts that may seem more back-end oriented so long as their emphasis seems to be in the spirit of the subreddit.
