Do beginners find these type of big list of resources and roadmaps helpful? As someone who's been in the industry for a long time and with several years of FE experience, if someone had shown me this when I was trying to get into FE, I would have found it overwhelming, and anxiety-inducing. I can see how resources like this can give you a lay of the land and give you an idea for how a particular technology fits into…

Thanks for the feedback. I agree on the overwhelming part, I'm in process of creating a topic wise list. The idea is to make a common repository where people like us with some level of experience in development can add resources for others to follow(and keep them up-to-date). Also make a list of topics and important links for that topic so that it doesn't become overwhelming.

As a backend who finally bit the bullet and started learning react a few months ago, my #1 learning resource has been ChatGPT. I can tell it what I want it to do, iterate on the idea and see how it changes. After I did that a few times I was able to tinker myself on the project and again ask ChatGPT how to improve the code. Perhaps it’s just my learning style, but it has been really refreshing experience to learn wit…

Yes, learning with ChatGPT is indeed a different experience. 1 problem I generally face with GPT is their old knowledge base, at times they will give you codes for older versions of technologies. I faced major challenges with vue and angular js in getting the latest information.

Lists of things are not a particularly good fit for Show HN and really not for HN in general. Some recent moderator comments explaining it: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39402244 And it comes up in the Show HN-specific rules https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

Got it! I'll keep that in mind, thanks.

Not a frontend engineer, but wondering whether svelte is a more promising start for beginners instead of nextjs and other react based frameworks?

Depends on why do you want to learn it? Career enhancement - may be no, go for established framework to get better job. For a part time project - may be yes, it's easier to learn and performs better.

Learning after react will give you better idea about complexities and problem statements both the framework solves.
