It would be nice to follow vanilla JavaScript/ES2017/ES2018 etc features, usage examples, etc. Maybe an ongoing tutorial series on building some common web features, deconstructing interesting stuff found around the web, etc.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I think vanilla JS is worth learning without reliance on the latest frameworks and libraries.

Yep, yep & yep it helps learning Vanilla JS. But I don't think people will now go back to use `var` rather than `let` & `const`. Yeah I can give a basic overview why we have ES2015/16/17/18 when we can still use Vanilla JS. But my question is would most people learn that content when you know you can write better code in ES6 or ES7 & use Babel to transpile it to Vanilla JS?

The point is I want to reach to more people & I don't think there are many people like you & me that are willing to learn the roots of the evolution of JavaScript. If you think it would reach a wider audience, I can make tutorials on it.

But there are some awesome resources which have many of those things are - https://javascript30.com & http://exploringjs.com & http://2ality.com/2017/02/ecmascript-2018.html

I was thinking maybe its better to create something which has less awesome resources. Something like Svelte or a full blown tutorial like https://teropa.info/blog/2015/09/10/full-stack-redux-tutoria...
