CSS guidelines by Harry perhaps?

This isn't specifically guidelines nor front-end, but another interesting example of "defining common practices to improve consistency and cohesion": https://ways-of-working.readthedocs.org/

The "examples" position the conventional answers of each question, yet I wonder:

• Could some questions have longer tails of alternatives?
• Could you standardize the display of those conventional choices (as opposed to the inconsistent parenthetical references)?

Regardless, a few to consider adding:

• Templating: Nunjucks
• CSS Preprocessor: Stylus
• CSS Grids (often a subsystem many hijack, distinguished from adopting the whole framework): Jeet, Susy, Pure or Bootstrap
• Browser syncing
• Browser testing like Browserstack

@nathanacurtis,

Could some questions have longer tails of alternatives?

Yes, although it very much risks a slippery slope of having to maintain a comprehensive list of tools and resources. Been there, done that and I'd prefer this stays a suggestive rather than exhaustive list. (That being said, it would be cool to see a more interactive version of this that had more of a comprehensive list!)

Could you standardize the display of those conventional choices (as opposed to the inconsistent parenthetical references)?

I can visualize an interactive step-by-step questionnaire that would be in essence a form for answering these questions. That experience could have a standardized display.
