Ask HN: Overwhelmed with learning front-end, how do I proceed?

build mini-projects. I made https://enlight.ml - and although it's still a work in progress, it teaches small projects related to web development and ways to actually implement for knowledge of html, css, js, etc.

Let me know what you think! I plan to evolve it by building a codeacademy style interface for learning these projects...

The tutorials look good, but I already have a base knowledge of JS and frontend- just looking to begin making SPAs and using React or Vue, which I can't seem to get a grip on. There's so many loose components in them it's overwhelming :(

What do you mean by "loose components"?

I meant dependencies, for example vue-router, react-router, vuex, redux, etc

Ah, thought you might be referring to actually writing component-based logic and UIs.

Yeah, React is very much a pick-and-choose-for-your-own-situation kind of a tool. Somewhat true for Vue also. This is both a strength and a weakness, somewhat depending on how much you like to be in control of exactly what pieces you're using.
