A list of front end development resources • Hacker News Board

I've been building a list of front-end development best practices at http://www.betterfrontend.com - it definitely needs to be updated though. I haven't had a change to work on it for almost a year. Would love to get something going with a few devs if they're interested.

The list is too massive and lacks projects' details to be useful. I'd better use github's search.

Agreed. There are way too many items on the list. This way, it is barely anymore useful than a google search for these tools.

The benefit here is that most of these are at least somewhat usable in a project. Many of the resources that one finds online are not great. I found several things that I wish I had used on past projects.

The trouble with managing a list like this is that it's not exactly easy to update/correct? It's always owned by one person, and errors (like Foundation 3 being mentioned) aren't easy to correct - or to expand and add new items to.

Great resource, but wouldn't a collaborative wiki be easier - or are such lists maintained for the original author's reputation not to become a fount of collective knowledge?
