dongtong / frontend-dev-bookmarks

My collection of essential Front-End resources, focusing on accessibility, architecture, performance, code quality, workflow and best practices.

Front-End Bookmarks

This is a collection of essential (or just useful/inspirational) Front-End Development & Accessibility bookmarks, frequently used in our daily work.

I try to keep this list generic (with a few exceptions), focusing on higher level concepts instead, such as accessibility, architecture, performance, code quality, workflow and best practices.

This is a living document (no shit!).
