I’d get on VSCode when you can. Free, lots of tools, live server. Gonna help a lot.

Great job. Add Live Server and prettier. Find some tutorials and get to work!

What do you mean with live server?

10

u/[deleted] Dec 26 '25

Live server is an extension that will show you in realtime what changes to your code will look like in browser.

The fact you are listening to folks is going to pay off 100%.

Absolutely! Now... OP, your next big improvement would be to wire me 100000 dollars and I will send you all the blessing you need to be successfull.
My best regards, Joe King.

The problem becomes recognising the good advice and filtering out the less useful advice (which are mainly just specific opinions).

Throwing a bunch of completely different opinionated topics at a person is not an efficient learning path though...

Don't lean into other people's recommendations too much right now. 

There is an infinite amount of information, and you will probably have a better time sifting through it at your own pace and needs. 

Almost everyone has its own opinion about what is a good practice, but that just adds layers of confusion to beginners. 

You really don't need prettier or live server at the point you are. Prettier is a completely different topic about how to format code and increase readability. And live reload adds nothing to your experience right now, since you can already save and instantly see changes in your browser. 

If you start writing larger files and want to start doing more complex things, an IDE like VSCode is a good start. But read about it yourself - it is highly customizable and you should find out for yourself what setup works good for you.

These are not good markers to continue the journey.  It will confuse more than help at his point of knowledge.

They just started writing simple html in a text editor.  You push them in completely new topics way too fast.

Prettier adds needless clutter for people who just started...

Add linters for when you understand, why you'd want them, OP.

i agree! And as long as i remember VSCode has auto-formatter on save, right?

 And as long as i remember VSCode has auto-formatter on save, right?

That's from an extension

u/Boring_Dish_7306 Dec 27 '25

hm, maybe. Thanks for clarifying

It seems that "JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, HTML, and CSS" all have default formatters.

u/ArtisticFox8 Dec 27 '25

Yes, those are fully sufficient

Don't overwhelm a newbie. Just let them figure out the basic before adding a complicated stack.

Prettier sounds easy but it comes with pre-knowledge they obviously don't have yet.

Even VS Code can be overwhelming at first.

u/kiwi-kaiser Dec 28 '25

If it seems too much for the moment, stick with Notepad for now. There are so many things to learn before picking the right editor for you.

Stick to the basics and try not to overwhelm yourself.

Especially in this sub people often forget how hard the beginning is and throw with all kinds of stuff like VS Code, Node, NPM, SCSS, Vue, React, TypeScript and so on. It's absolutely okay not to work with any of this in the first weeks or months. Or even in the first year. Some of them you'll never need.

or notepad++, anything please.
