New Front-End Checklist website and rules are currently being build!

[thedaviddias]

It has been few years since the first version of the Front-End Checklist! Web has changed in a lot of ways and the need for a better website and re-defining the rules has come!

For few weeks now, I have been working on improving the experience on a new version of the website to become easier to use but also a source of more content and knowledge.

But I need your help in suggesting ideas, improvements, features you would want to see being build. I'm trying to finalize a first version without a ton of features and iterate after this initial launch.

Feel free to suggest anything!

Hi David,
I like the front-end checklist as being too compressive, looking forward to customizing messages using it on my local machine. Please suggest the way forward.

Thanks @deepeshbhatnagar for your message. What exactly do you have in mind? What would be your need?

Hi David, thanks for a wonderful checklist - it's a great resource.

One item that jumps out to me that should be reviewed for the new checklist is:

Embedded or inline CSS: Avoid at all cost embeding CSS in <style> tags or using inline CSS

Inlining critical CSS and deferring other styles can be super important for putting together a fast site.

Perhaps rather than forbidding inlined CSS, we could suggest that only critical CSS is inlined, and even then only a small amount. This might need a limit to be defined certain threshold (I'm not sure what an appropriate limit would be, I've seen less than 14 kb compressed for HTML + critical CSS used before).

Hello, I have a suggestion in case this is still being worked on - offer links to reasoning/arguments/justifications behind list items where the reasoning might not be apparent.

That's exactly one of the aspects I'm working one.

Each rule will have it's dedicated page with full explanations, reasoning etc. That should also serve as a way to learn more rather than just be "a rule".
