    This looks like a really useful resource that I will inevitably forget to ever use in the future and will instead, continue to google/stackoverflow programming questions.

    The nocode cheatsheet is pretty darn helpful. I couldn't find it anywhere else. Thumbs up.

    I really like this. Nice, easy UI, small and simple code examples. I'd see myself using this a lot for stuff I'm not 100% sure about. Nice work.

    For the Mac users interested in this, I highly recommend Dash[0], which is an awesome offline alternative and has some ui integration as well. Works on the plane, unlike a website.

    From ES6 section, first thing I notice:

    > let is the new var. Constants work just like let, but can’t be reassigned. See: Let and const

    I say it once, I say it one thousand times: "Let is not the new Var".

    They certainly have some similar behaviors but surely they do communicate very different things to a developer who is reading the code.

    let: "you shouldn't/can't edit outside this block scope"

    var: "feel free to change me whenever you want inside this scope (whether it's global or function)

    JS stuff aside, this is actually very helpful.

    Not sure how much this overlaps, but I also have this bookmarked:

    http://overapi.com/ "collecting all cheat sheets," repo at https://github.com/overthecs/overthecs.github.io but I don't see a lot of changes in the past few years.

    Looks very nice, like how it's organized. But the cheatsheets I was intersted in aren't complete. Namely, I'd love to use a more complete bulma cheet sheet, likewise, if you ever get around to adding Django, that'd be phenomenal too! Anyway, great looking site, good job.

    Looks great and helps lay out certain things in a concise manner.

    Seeing some visual bugs with headings. https://devhints.io/xpath for example, currently has misaligned sub headers for most of the sections.

    Devhints is a go-to for me with Elixir-related questions. Insanely well put together!

    I guess all it needs now is a sweet SVG favicon?

    What are the advantages of using this over tldr[1] or cheat[2] ?
