Why it exists
Finding a good front-end resource takes more time than it should. Lists on GitHub grow until nobody can read them, and the pretty directories live off whoever pays to appear.
FrontDex is small on purpose. Every resource has a number, a category and one line on why it's worth your time. A person writes that line, not a model.
It started in Luanda, in Portuguese, because that's where we are. The index is open, so is the code, and anyone can propose a resource.
Principles
- 01Useful before popularA resource gets in if it would be missed when gone, not because it has lots of stars.
- 02Curated, not crowdedFewer items, each one justified.
- 03Fast before flashyStatic site, little JavaScript and performance targets in CI.
- 04Context before linksEvery resource has a concrete description and, when possible, why it is here.
- 05Open by defaultCode, data and decisions on GitHub.

Support.
Without buying a spot.
A star on GitHub helps other people find the project. A well-written resource helps even more. If there is ever sponsorship, it pays for infrastructure, never for a position in the list.
