Front-end interview questions for conversations, not quizzes

A long list of front-end questions organized by topic, from general and HTML through performance and coding. The README is explicit that you should not use them all on one candidate and that open-ended answers tell you more.

How the list is meant to be used

The questions exist for vetting potential candidates, but the README warns against dumping the whole list on one person, since that would take hours. The intended use is to choose a few items that check the skills you actually need. That framing positions the list as a tool to be sampled rather than a test to be administered end to end.

Why the questions are open ended

A note explains that many questions are open ended and could lead to interesting discussions that tell you more about a person's capabilities than a straight answer would. The collection is therefore a prompt for conversation more than a scoring sheet, and the open-ended phrasing is a deliberate feature rather than an accident.

The table of contents

The contents run from general questions through HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, with accessibility linked externally, then testing, performance, network, coding, and fun questions. That spread means the list can serve different hiring needs, from a quick screening conversation to a deeper technical discussion, depending on which section you reach into. The accessibility section sits behind an external link rather than inline with the rest.

Who maintains it

The repository lives under the H5BP organization with a homepage at h5bp.org. It is MIT licensed, and a long contributors section names many people who helped shape the questions, which is a reasonable hint at how the list grew over time. The project has also picked up tens of thousands of stars on GitHub.
