Cool project! I haven't seen the idea of drag and drop for building regex's before. I could definitely see this being a helpful tool for people learning regex. Some feedback: 1. The railroad is the intended drag target but is real

I used these docs when I was exploring the Immutable.js API! Very helpful, but Immutable just updated to v3 (your docs are v2), which introduces some breaking changes (for example, Vector is now called List). Would you mind updating your do

I've been using this library for a project, and here are my thoughts on it: 1. Immutable data structures are a huge win. I can't count the number of times I've been bitten by a bug caused by some subtle mutation that happened

The app is pretty confusing to use. For those of you stuck like I was, you actually have to complete the tutorial in order to add people and start "slinging."

This looks cool. Manual mocking has always been, if not a pain, a major annoyance. On a side note, I got a good chuckle from the "Bobby Tables" XKCD reference[1] in the Jest tutorial[2]. [1]: http://xkcd.com/327&#x

Not to distract from the topic, but jlongster's posts should be a case study into how to make an effective demo/tutorial on the web. The side by side code/demo format is very well done and should be the de facto way to do cod

This. To my knowledge, JS perf isn't an issue in any modern browser (even the crippled iOS webview). Improving the performance of DOM access and manipulation (not just on iOS) would be a much more fruitful enterprise and is something I

The interactive macro editor is a great touch. I don't know if this is prevalent, but this is the first time I've seen a tutorial interactively modify code in the editor for you . Instead of "here, type this into the editor

Go. Read. This. Book. Now. This is a must-read for any developer who wants to know Javascript better. This is the book that taught me everything I know about prototypes, method decorators, and functional programming in Javascript. Sure, I&#

Good overview of jQuery Deferred and how to use promises (at least the jQuery flavor). Promises (or futures) are a simple concept: an object-level abstraction of a non-blocking call, but they're very powerful when you see them in action. Fo

Love it. This is a great read on the evolution of a design and what goes through a designer's head as they're iterating on a concept. One thing that should particularly stand out is that the format of the article is a continuous loop of 1)

A lot of great information here. I always knew that overqualifying selectors was bad, but it was always from a "clean code" point of view and not so much from a performance standpoint. Even more reason to avoid them now. Although this is ve

For a practical (but involved) overview, there's this: http://webtypography.net/toc/ It's a classic typography book translated to a web context with the relevant CSS styles. Pretty cool. For a more easily digestible (and interactive!) ove

This seems like a great starting point for anyone who is interested in designing a website with a strong emphasis on text content (think blogs, online magazines, etc). If you've ever tried to formally study typography, it can be pretty over

I was also confused by this line. Thick blocks of color appear darker than thin blocks, so a heading would need to be slightly lighter in order to appear the same color as the body copy.

One of the areas where Trello really excels is representing agile workflows, as evidenced by the many organizations that use Trello for internal organization. That said, I think Trello's biggest strength is the huge amount of flexibility yo

Personally, I found this a breath of fresh air from the modal-based alert dialogs out there, although I wouldn't call it an alert per se. Alerts (as others have mentioned) block the UI and prevent the user from interacting with it until the

Hi, I'm a (fellow) cofounder at Tabule. You make a lot of valid points. As guptaneil alluded to, the ideal case would be if we could get teachers to post their assignments on Tabule. Teachers for the most part already post assignments onlin
