webhint AMA Replay: Best practices for the web and other useful stuff
The OpenJS Foundation recently hosted its monthly Ask Me Anything with folks from the webhint team. webhint, a hosted project at the Foundation, is a customizable linting tool that helps you improve your site’s accessibility, speed, cross-browser compatibility, and more by checking your code for best practices and common errors. Pretty useful stuff, huh!?
