      I’m no developer (but I do love debbugging stuff :), so here are a list of dumb things I have needed to fix at various points

      • Check for missing commas at ends of line (I always add a comma, even if technically the code doesn’t need it)
      • Check for wrong types of Quotation marks. ie, " (double quotes) is not the same as ‘’ (two single quotes) but they look identical in some editors
      • Check for added spaces (and missing spaces)
      • Check CASE (Upper, lower, mixed) - Some modules are case sensitive, some less so.
      • Check your brackets/braces are completed

        Being new to MM, JS, Node, etc myself, it would have been of great help to have some functional and pictorial description of the parts making up a MM Module. Basically an idiots-guide-to-making-your-own-module (and understanding what you are doing). I’d buy it!

          Dude until I started with MM I didn’t even know JS but Thanks to a great guy [he knows who he is] that I won’t mention because I don’t want to point people at him and have him overwhelmed with questions…he’s a busy kid :) At any rate I didn’t even know JS but if you want to build a module then look inside one and form your questions and ask them. Many people would be happy to help and explain it to help you out!

              @strawberry-3.141 Yeah, Thanks. I saw that before, and have already added/corrected some Wiki info in the dev repo. (When is that dev gonna get merged to master, anyway?) Also looked at the Template… very useful.
