Repositories that are awesome lists or collection of resources

This has existed for 10 years:

https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome

I managed to collect a diverse set of resources, and submit a pull request that passed all the checks in first try. But sadly, due to small community size, lack of resources, exams and abandonment of J2ME by Oracle, I was not able to completely fulfill my goal.

1. Awesome

In 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, 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 bot farms' SEO efforts, and is financially viable.

VitePress and Docusaurus seem decent. I think VitePress might be more suited to blogging, but I admit I haven’t actually used or tested either.

VitePress 1.5

I don't get it (really, not pretending). I know many SPAs are crap, but if SPAs were inherently crap, then all SPAs would be at least kind of crap.

So, I see those website below as examples and ask myself: What's wrong with those:

https://vitepress.dev/

https://www.solidjs.com/

Both are SPAs. Fast, small, working very well.

Ok, they need JS to work. But honestly, how many people are not using JS because they can't (as opposed to because they don't want to). And how many have so low end devices that running the JS is a problem? People watching videos all day on their smartphones. So, the days where processing JS for creating the DOM is a problem are over. Esp. if using fast frameworks like Solid, Preact, Vue or Svelte.

Of course there're website that load 20 MB JS of analytics and spyware. Those are slow not because they're SPAs but because they do all this additional (of course unwanted) stuff. Also accessibility issues are not caused by using SPAs or not. Svelte even has accessibility warnings built-in.

The reason for writing the code in index.md is that if everything is encapsulated in a Vue component and then imported into index.md, it would cause the aside not to refresh when changing pages. You can check this Issue #2686 for specifics.
