Every Tuesday we round up the previous week's top posts based on traffic, engagement, and a hint of editorial curation. The typical week starts on Monday and ends on Sunday, but don't worry, we take into account posts that are published later in the week. ❤️
#SheCoded and nothing can stop her
"Advocating for myself looks like…
- Self-affirmations
- Taking breaks
- Not selling myself short - I love letting people know what I do
- Knowing I have a lot to learn and taking it one step at a time."
Nevertheless, Florence Coded Because Nothing Can Stop Her!

Wow!!! Thank you 🙌
Sorry, but if I can ask, why my article isn't on this list? It stayed in the top one of the week from Wednesday to Sunday and then become second until today (the week is over). I was quite happy about the success of my article and hoped to finally be there. Also, I don't understand why I didn't even receive the javascript badge, having stayed at the top of the javascript tag for the whole week (even at the end). For info it was published on Tuesday, and here the link - it arrived at the javascript top on Wednesday. Thanks.
Hey there! We take a number of different factors into consideration when determining our Top 7. One of those factors is editorial curation! So, a post that doesn't necessarily have the highest "score" might be selected as a top article by our team for other reasons.
You should now have your JS badge. Sorry about the delay!
Thank you for your quick reply. I understand your factors perfectly, I was not sure and I wanted to understand better. And we can't say that my post was at the top of editorial curation.
So I can only say that I will try again. Maybe trying to improve my editorial curation, I can start here, learning from this list of articles.
I just received the javascript badge, thank you very much for it.
Thank you so much! ❤😭
Great work everyone and thanks for filling this community with awesome content!
