    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. Th…

    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,…

    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…

    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 tutori…

    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 …

    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) woul…

    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 . …

    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 dec…

    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 cal…

    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 i…

    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 standpo…

    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…

    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 ev…

    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 Tr…

    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 th…

    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 Tabul…
