What people are saying
I love this idea. I guess my main concern will be figuring out how to do it without mission creep. It's unproductive to debate what it does or doesn't mean for blogs to be…

In Loadmo.re: design inspiration for unconventional webI’m for a Awesome ACM in the style of the original https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
In ACM Transitions to Full Open AccessAt what point did the Awesome-lists purpose change from "Here's stuff I personally verified to be pretty awesome" to "Here's a list of stuff I came across when searching but I have no idea about the quality of stuff"?
Not that having some sort of collection/index is bad or anything, it's just way less useful than a curated list of things you actually find "awesome" and related to some topic.
For the ones who weren't around at the "creation" of awesome-lists, this I think is the origin: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md
> If you want your list to be included on awesome, try to only include actual awesome stuff in your list. After all, it's a curation, not a collection.
Today, the name remains, but not for curation.
In Awesome DeepSeek Integrationswhere can I go to see the awesome things you're working on in your home personal computing?
I like the GitHub collected archives of "awesome" that is lists of things that persons have created or done

In A GitHub repo that curates all the awesome reposConsider making this a repo, ala “awesome-local-transfer-tools” or similar.

In Sharedrop: Easy P2P file transfer powered by WebRTC – inspired by Apple AirDropIn the days before "google it" was a synonym for "find it", we had different curated link sites, and even pyhsical magazines with hand-curated lists of links that people interested in a certain topic might find interesting. This still exists today in some forms, for example the "awesome lists" that you see for some programming topics, for example https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome .
Just like there was a time when 90%-99% of all email traffic was viagra spam but e-mail as a concept survived, I imagine in the future most of the internet by volume will be AI-generated trash, and those in the know will still circulate lists of where the other 1% can be found.
An even brighter scenario is that someone, maybe a kid tinkering in their garage, figures out how to make a search engine that finds the good stuff, doesn't immediately die to AI b

He appears to be the original creator of the “Awesome X” repo: https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome
In Kyutai AI research lab with a $330M budget that will make everything open sourceyah, come to think of it in the curated space, this reminds me of that awesome X family of github pages. Looks like someone compiled a bunch of them here https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome#databases. I have found those to be highly valuable treasure troves pregnant with rich and relevant information.
