Hi,

I might not give the "best" answers but I'll chime in with some anyway.

One of the starting points is the documentation. I am finding navigating the documentation confusing, often getting circular links from one page to another.

Maybe not exactly what you're talking about, but there's this issue for improving the docs: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/issues/1498

Its not clear to me which version of Javascript espruino is supporting. es5, es6 .. etc?

This issue at the espruino repo might me somewhat useful: https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/issues/1302

Folder structure. Having boilerplate folder structure for new applications is really useful. Especially for beginner programmers. I can even make a cli in javascript to do this if there is demand. Although I am guessing the web ide makes chucking everything in a single file easier.

There are these example folders:
Not sure myself where those are mentioned in the docs. EDIT: Mentioned in the BangleApps repo readme.

Use of timers instead of async functions.

Maybe this is relevant (I'm not sure): https://github.com/espruino/Espruino/issues/1302#issuecomment-356257549

Cheers!

Edit - bonus links (I guess you already saw these):

Thanks for the long response, its really helpful. Re timers - its not in the documentation, just some of the apps using them. It was one of my less constructive comments as unless the bangle js compiler doesn't support async functions, its an understandable coding mistake, as async stuff is often harder to get head around.
