#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.
