guardian frontend

We have hosted the application guardian frontend in order to run this application in our online workstations with Wine or directly.

Quick description about guardian frontend:

�Frontend� is the code repository backing The Guardian�s main website (theguardian.com), especially the user-facing frontend. It is built to deliver fast, accessible, responsive, and inclusive web pages to a large audience. The backend uses Scala with the Play Framework, responsible for server-side rendering / API endpoints etc., while the client side assets (JS, CSS etc.) are built via a client-side build process. It emphasizes audience-first design: performance, accessibility, maintainability.

Features:

• Implemented as Play Framework 2 applications in Scala for server-side logic and rendering
• Client-side build process using make / asset pipeline for CSS, JS, images etc to ensure optimized assets delivery
• Emphasis on speed and performance: fast page load, efficient resource usage, caching etc
• Accessibility and inclusive design (responsive layout, good support across devices / browsers)
• Maintainable code structure, separation of concerns (frontend assets vs backend rendering/logics)
• Open source under Apache-2.0 license, inviting community contributions and transparency in how the site operates

Programming Language: Scala.
