If you use GitHub, you’re probably familiar with “awesome-lists”. Awesome-lists are a series of open source GitHub projects. They offer curated content around a specific topic that readers will find… awesome. Each list uses the “awesome-” naming convention and most of them give credit to other awesome lists that inspired them to create their own. They’ve become so popular that GitHub now displays “Awesome Lists” as one of the options in the mobile app Explore tab: You’ll find awesome-lists ranging from mainstream tech topics like awesome-react to random stuff like awesome-falsehoods (”a curated list of falsehoods programmers believe in.”), awesome-board -games (“a curated list of awesome and exceptional board games”) and awesome-veganism (“a curated list of awesome resources, pointers, and tips to make veganism easy and accessible to everyone”). My Progress From Consumer → Maintainer For me, awesome-lists were love at first site when I was introduced to the concept a few years ago. I’m now a maintainer of my very own list, having recently started awesome-opensearch together with my friends at Pulse.
