Full Stack JavaScript Techdegree Graduate 20,279 PointsWorking with nextSibling as a solution for inserting after the element
I've used
ul.insertBefore(li, nextLi.nextSibling);
not
ul.insertBefore(nextLi, li);
and the code is working fine. Is it ok to solve it this way?

Plus it relies on the new item being inserted at the end when "nextSibling" doesn't exist (and returns null). That could potentially confuse readers who are not intimately familiar with the operation of "insertBefore".
