what is ama fr?

This is Wes Bos's "Ask Me Anything" repository, a public Q&A board where anyone can post questions and read his answers. Wes created it because he was getting too many questions by email, and he wanted the answers to be available for everyone to read rather than sitting private in someone's inbox. The scope is broad: coding, career, money, personal life, workflow, setups, all fair game. The whole thing runs through GitHub's built-in issue tracker. You click a button to open a new question, which creates a GitHub issue. Wes then responds in the comments, and once the conversation wraps up, the issue gets closed. Closed questions are all searchable and browsable, so it builds up as a growing archive of answered questions. Some get tagged as "Great Q!" to highlight the most interesting or useful exchanges. It is a simple setup, no special software, no database, just GitHub's native tools repurposed as a discussion board. This is useful for people learning web development, especially in the JavaScript and React ecosystem where Wes is well known. He teaches courses like React For Beginners and runs free tutorial sites like Flexbox.io. If you are a beginner coder wondering how an independent developer structures their work, what tools they use, or how they turned teaching into a business, the answered questions here cover that kind of material. It is also a model for any founder or creator who gets repetitive questions and wants a public archive instead of one-on-one emails. The notable thing here is the simplicity of the approach. Rather than building a custom Q&A platform or using a forum tool, Wes just uses GitHub issues as-is. The tradeoff is that you need a GitHub account to ask a question, which is fine for his developer-heavy audience but would not work as well for a non-technical crowd. The benefit is zero maintenance and everything is naturally archived and searchable through GitHub's interface.
