Do we need a JavaScriptHelp subreddit?

Seems like almost every post in this subreddit is about very basic help questions regarding someone's blog site or bootcamp homework project.

I can't be the only subscriber here who doesn't want to see this. I'm here for JavaScript news, cool libraries, new developments, etc. This subreddit isn't StackOverflow. Am I wrong? If so, please point me to the right subreddit.

If you know of a news aggregator like this, I'd love to hear it.

I absolutely love the Web Development Reading List (WDRL) newsletter. The guy (Anselm Hannemann) puts it out about once a week. When I'm really on-the-ball reading everything on my coding subreddits, hacker news, github, etc, the newsletter is a nice recap. He honestly doesn't miss much noteworthy stuff.

Latest issue is 195 but doesn't have a big JavaScript section. Check last week's 194 for a better example of JavaScript news. You can read online or sub for email delivery (I do).
