I don't know JS, and really don't have any interest in that site, but it looks like an easy enough language to figure out whatever the trick to it is.

#14"We figured pretty much everybody knows JavaScript" Honest question and not trolling. Can I send a pull request to update this text to "We figured JavaScript is very popular these days....." EDIT: I just did it anyway. Feel free to accept/reject
Perhaps "and the changes sufficiently small"?

Famous last words. I'm not saying that JavaScript is a particularly difficult language to learn, but most people make the mistake of looking at it's syntax and then concluding that "well, it seems pretty similar to Java, I can't just start coding away instead of learning about the basics".

Why not?

#17> We wondered what a site would be like where every user had contributed some code. It should mean no spam..
HAHAHAHA, good luck with that.
(But still, a nice idea for a site)

Presumably you need to make some other code change/improvement as well with the pull request or else it will be rejected.

Well, it's not a poor assumption if the site is primarily content of interest to JavaScript developers. Which, given the self-selection, it will be.

#20Yea, they still have a workflow problem that was never solved: https://github.com/larvalabs/pullup/pull/5
On the bright-side at least the project is MIT. Good ol' MIT.
