Some sites you bookmark; this one your muscle memory bookmarks for you. The dark hero states the whole deal — “Resources for Developers, by Developers, since 2005” — over a search box, and below it the machine hums: featured articles, a live feed of contributions landing hours apart, a contributor spotlight with an actual name in it. Reference documentation that shows its people is rarer than it should be.
We’ll be honest about the capture: MDN now carries ad slots, and our snapshot drew Auth0 twice. Even so, the reading experience underneath — the sidebar taxonomy, the code-first typography, the theme toggle that respects your eyes — remains the standard every docs site measures itself against, usually silently. The web’s employee handbook, still maintained, still free.
