Best Practices

Progressive Enhancement

A frontend strategy that builds a baseline experience with semantic HTML first, then layers CSS and JavaScript so the site works for every browser and device.

by Steven Champeon / A List Apart

WCAG 2.2 Accessibility Compliance

The W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines 2.2 define testable success criteria across four principles so web content is perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust.

by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

Design Systems

A design system is a single source of truth combining reusable components, design tokens, patterns, and guidelines that keep products consistent and faster to build.

by Nielsen Norman Group

Frontend Internationalization (i18n)

Designing and building UIs so they can adapt to multiple languages, regions, and formats without code changes, separating translatable text from logic.

by World Wide Web Consortium (W3C)

Checklists

WCAG 2.2 Accessibility Audit Checklist

Audit a web application against WCAG 2.2 AA success criteria across perceivable, operable, understandable, and robust requirements.

Benchmarks

Lighthouse Accessibility Benchmark

Measures a web page's automated accessibility conformance using Lighthouse audits mapped to WCAG, producing a 0-100 accessibility score.

Top Priority Actions
╰──────────────────────────────────────────╯
 
1. Upgrade EOL runtime in node-turborepo
End-of-life runtimes no longer receive security patches and block ecosystem upgrades.
./.
>=18.0.0 → 24.0.0 (6 majors behind)
Impact: −10 drift points (runtime & EOL)
 
2. Fix security posture: no lockfile found
Without a lockfile, installs are non-deterministic. Run the install command to generate one and commit it.
./
Missing: package-lock.json, pnpm-lock.yaml, or yarn.lock
 
3. Upgrade Vite 5.4.21 → 8.2.1 in @repo/admin (+2 more)
3 major versions behind. Major framework drift increases breaking change risk and blocks access to security fixes and performance improvements.
./apps/admin
Vite: 5.4.21 → 8.2.1 (3 majors behind)
./apps/api
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.10 (3 majors behind)
./packages/utils
Vitest: 1.6.1 → 4.1.10 (3 majors behind)
Impact: −5–15 drift points
 
4. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/types (100% severely outdated)
1 of 1 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/types
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
 
5. Reduce dependency rot in @repo/database (75% severely outdated)
3 of 4 dependencies are 2+ majors behind. Run `npm outdated` and prioritise packages with known CVEs or breaking API changes.
./packages/database
@prisma/client: 5.22.0 → 7.9.1 (2 majors behind)
prisma: 5.22.0 → 7.9.1 (2 majors behind)
typescript: 5.9.3 → 7.0.2 (2 majors behind)
Impact: −5–10 drift points
