## What it is
A community-maintained quick reference guide collecting JavaScript best practices, accepted coding standards, and curated links from around the web. It is presented as an easy-to-read website for developers wanting to write cleaner, more organized JavaScript.

## Use cases

- you are teaching or onboarding developers in JavaScript fundamentals

## When to avoid
- you need up-to-date coverage of modern ES features and tooling, as the guide is largely historical
- you need an official normative standard rather than a community opinion guide

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: documentation
- domain: web-development, tutorials, programming-languages
- platform: browser
- tags: javascript, best-practices, coding-standards, guide, reference, web
