I guess D25784 shouldn't be mashed up in here thus requesting changes.

I'd personally write a few sentences in a way more boring style as I dislike reading long texts when I just quickly want to find relevant info.

As you know, Phorge is the fork of Phabricator. Phabricator was designed with a particular Open Source JavaScript library called Javelin.

17–23

So, why I should master Javelin?

The Javelin APIs are un-documented, un-intuitive, and esoteric, and you may prefer X / Y / Z framework instead.

24–29

But hey: Javelin will not be abandoned anytime soon.

Give Javelin a try, so you can make Phorge even better.

40–43

Traversing the DOM using Javelin is simple... as long as
you know what a "sigil" is. In fact, Javelin is designed to avoid
finding something by CSS classes. Instead, Javelin introduced
"sigils" - that is, exactly like a CSS class but vegan (?).
