What it is
This is a collection of front-end web development questions in topics like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, accessibility, testing, performance, networking, and coding. Hiring managers can pick a few to assess a candidate's skills, and developers can use them to test their own knowledge. The README notes that many questions are open-ended and meant to start discussion rather than have a single right answer.
- Pick three to five questions across HTML, CSS, and JavaScript for a candidate screen
- Quiz yourself on a topic such as performance or network basics before an interview
- Use open-ended questions to start a discussion about how a candidate thinks
Great for
- Hiring managers building a front-end interview process
- Developers preparing for front-end job interviews
- Teachers or mentors who want discussion prompts on web fundamentals
- Teams wanting a shared pool of questions to pick from
Not ideal for
- People looking for software to install, since this is only a set of questions (no code is run)
- Anyone wanting answer keys, because the README describes open-ended questions rather than model answers
- Those needing a complete curriculum, as it is a question list rather than a course

Downloads
Strengths
- Covers many front-end areas in one place, from HTML and CSS to testing and networking
- The README advises choosing a few questions rather than all of them, which keeps interviews practical
- Released under the MIT license, so it is free to reuse
Trade-offs
- It is a question list, so it does not provide model answers to check against
- The README is truncated in this data, so details of the full question set are not confirmed here
- Some questions are open-ended, which makes fair scoring harder without a rubric
