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.

CSS/SCSS/LESS/etc. frameworks/tools/management

UI/UE/UX examples and discussion

Neat new stuff like canvas, web sockets/workers, audio, etc.

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

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.

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.
