shradha-khapra/JavaScriptSeries

★ 373 · JavaScript · updated Aug 2024

A collection of small vanilla JavaScript projects — currency converter, rock-paper-scissors, tic-tac-toe — built as teaching material for a YouTube series. This is beginner tutorial code, not a library or tool you'd actually use.

Each project is self-contained with no build step or dependencies, so a beginner can open index.html and immediately see something working. The scope is appropriately small — tic-tac-toe in ~100 lines is the right size for learning DOM manipulation. High fork count suggests it actually gets used as a starting point for exercises.

No README, no explanation of what any project does or how to run it — you have to guess from the directory names. The code has no tests, no comments, and no real-world patterns like modules or error handling, so it teaches habits you'd have to unlearn immediately after. Last commit was mid-2024 and the series appears abandoned. 373 stars for what is essentially three tutorial projects suggests the star count is driven by the YouTube audience, not merit.
