MDN is obviously an important reference. They've done a great job, because documenting the complex mess of modern web technologies is hard.

I have 2 small complaints:

- I sometimes read some dubious content on MDN. For instance [JavaScript frameworks and libraries]^1. I don't think these tutorials for 5 frameworks provide any value over the respective official tutorials. Even more so with outdated tutorials: the Svelte one is 5 years old, and there have been major changes since then. ^1: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Learn_web_developme...

- The quality of the webextension doc is low. A clear problem is that it's mostly for manifest v2, with a few incomplete pages mentioning a transition to v3 or the compatibility with Chrome. In practise, I started developing an webextension with this doc, then had to switch to Chrome's, though Firefox was my primary target.

Hey, I'm from the MDN team. Thank you for the compliment and the feedback, I really appreciate it! <3

I hear you on the complaints, I'll take this to the team. You might like this, in case you'd still like to learn building Firefox extensions → https://extensionworkshop.com/

While I believe that the tutorials for frameworks do not replace the official ones, I still find great value in having them available on MDN. Perhaps you are not seeing this because you are viewing the problem from the perspective of someone who already knows very well what these frameworks are and how they should be used.

I remember clearly how years ago MDN taught me what libraries and frameworks are and why I should (or not) care about them. I didn't have a CS background nor anyone to teach me. I would probably have been too intimidated to approach them if it weren't for MDN guiding me. I'm very grateful.

> I sometimes read some dubious content on MDN.

I couldn't agree more. MDN should expect to outlive userland libraries and frameworks.

I'm curious if Vercel will find a way to funnel MDN users right into their frameworks.
