Cheatography.com is a free website for creating and sharing generic cheat sheets. I wanted to create a cheat sheet of JavaScript value/type/object basics to release in tandem with my next post on JavaScript essentials, so I just tried using the site for the first time and found it a surprisingly painful experience.
Don't get me wrong — it's a great idea, and I'm glad Dave Child created it. Maybe I'm just spoiled by how awesome my first experience using a popular geek pet project usually is.
When I first arrived at the site and started poking around, I was confused by the concepts, the user interface, the workflow, and especially the layout options. To top it all off, the help section contained exactly one document on the one topic I actually wasn't interested in. :)
But I don't want spent a whole post bitching about free stuff and indulging in a sense of entitlement. Let's help! I present to you: Cheatography.com — The Missing Manual.
