## What it is
A curated list of front end system design resources, including guides, case studies, and solved example designs for applications like news feeds and e-commerce sites. It is maintained by GreatFrontEnd and aimed at interview preparation and general learning about scalable front end architecture.

## Use cases
- prepare for front end system design interviews
- learn how to design large-scale front end applications
- find engineering case studies on building UIs at scale
- study system design for news feeds and e-commerce sites
- find resources on front end architecture patterns
- get a structured framework for answering system design questions

## When to choose
- you are preparing for mid-to-senior front end interviews that include system design rounds
- you want curated, high-quality links to real-world engineering case studies
- you need a structured approach like the RADIO framework for design interviews
- you prefer learning from examples of real products like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram

## When to avoid
- you need backend or distributed system design resources rather than front end focused ones
- you are looking for runnable code or libraries instead of reading material
- you want a full interactive course without paying for GreatFrontEnd premium content
- you need beginner-level HTML, CSS, or JavaScript tutorials
