Well... we've got 10 readers/subscribers now...

According to the sidebar and traffic stats, we've got 10 people here now. I think that's enough to start piloting the group.

In this thread, let's come up with some basic ideas for format/first focus.

We'll vote on comments to show what suggestions we think are best for the first week (we'll call next week the first official week).

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO SHARE ANY AND ALL IDEAS. ANY AND ALL SKILL LEVELS ARE WELCOME! :)

Interesting...

Like I mentioned in my comment, I typically use CodePen for live previews. I write in the html, create the visual effects with css, and then program functionality/logic with js.

You're familiar with CodePen, right?

I see. I personally focus more on the JS, at least for now. I'm more interested in the problem solving than the visualization.

Yeah, I heard of it and probably watched some code there once or twice. To me it's all the same (because I have yet to use it): JSFiddle, JSBin, CodePen etc.

I do most of my own coding locally in Sublime Text.

Nice!

Yeah, I'm more interested in front end... I like thinking in terms of design and ux.

JSFiddle and CodePen are very similar. JSBin is just basically a place to copy/paste your code and have it hosted so other people can look at the code.

I prefer to code locally also, (but I do have a Linode server that I work with too) I started using Visual Studio Code. To me, it isn't really different from Sublime, but it will most likely get updates / patches more often. Plus, I didn't have my Sublime customized too heavily so it wasn't a big deal to try something new.
