What good open source web projects are out there?

I'm trying to learn how to do some web dev, but so far it's felt like I've just been copy pasting code from stackoverflow and building a mess. I'm looking for a clean web project to reference so I can learn how I *should* build my site.

@neckardt Pelican static site generator is interesting. Angular is neat for complicated apps.

@nobody Angular looks pretty sweet. I've heard it talked about before, but never looked into it, I'll do that now!

Would you happen to know of any large projects developed with Angular which I can reference?

@neckardt I'm just getting started with angular myself. I'm working on a CRUD application for some fairly simple data that uses a separately written restful API to load and save stuff. I'm still a lot better at understanding the services code than the front end, but I can take somebody else's data model and add a column without breaking it (woo!). There's a hello world app on glitch that's easy to fork too glitch.com/edit/#!/psychedelic

@nobody I'm in the same boat. I'm quite good with back-end, c++, python stuff. But when it comes to JS I kinda get lost. Sounds like you're making good progress though.

Thanks for the link, I always have trouble wrapping my head around a new framework. Definitely a good way to start.
