There is nothing to install, it is a reading list of linked GitHub issues written in Chinese.

So what is it?

This repository is a personal blog by a Chinese front-end developer, used to publish articles about web development. The content is written in Chinese and covers topics like JavaScript, ES6, a modern version of JavaScript, React, a popular library for building user interfaces, and Redux, a tool for managing application state. There is no code to run here: the repository exists purely as a place to host and index written articles. Articles are stored as GitHub issues rather than as files in the repository. Each issue holds one full post, and the README's list simply links out to them. This is a common pattern for developers who want a lightweight way to publish writing without setting up a separate blogging platform. Topics covered include a comparison of front-end and back-end rendering approaches, best practices for React, a guide to CSS Modules, reasons to move away from jQuery toward plain JavaScript, and a detailed look at floating point number pitfalls in JavaScript. Other posts discuss Immutable data structures, the Fetch API as a replacement for older Ajax techniques, and reflections on working with a codebase of roughly one million lines. More recent entries touch on lessons drawn from the history of VS Code's development and thoughts on how front-end developers might use AI tools such as ChatGPT in their daily work. The README also includes a note that the author is hiring front-end web developers and lists a contact email for interested applicants. Beyond that hiring notice and the article links, the README contains no other information: it is a table of contents rather than project documentation, and there is nothing here to install, configure, or run.
