Do you guys still use HTML5 Boilerplate when starting new projects? https://html5boilerplate.com/

2. Html Boilerplate

Wasn't this moved into Modernizr? There's a library I haven't thought of in a long time.

Oh, yep. There it is at the bottom:

> April 2011: IEPP v2 comes out. Modernizr and the html5shiv inherit the latest code. Meanwhile developers everywhere continue to use HTML5 elements in a cross-browser fashion without worry.

Paul Irish also started (or helped start) the html5 boilerplate project[1], which I am surprised to see is still actively being developed. I relied on that boilerplate for so many of my years of my early career (started full-time front-end in 2011). If you want another blast of nostalgia, check out the earlier releases[2,3] of it. I'm so happy I don't have to use conditional IE statements in my html anymore

For inspirations on what type of agents I should build, I turned to the Public APIs GitHub repository which has a curated lists of free APIs. I narrowed my search for an API that does not require sign-up or an API key and returns useful information. I ultimately decided to use the Free Currency Exchange Rates API, which seemed promising upon some basic testing.

Public-Apis Github Repo — A list of free public APIs.

Interesting thread at https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis/issues/3104

Use curl to access a free public API and get a random joke, cat fact, or whatever.

I remember the forking of https://github.com/public-apis/public-apis and the long git issue discussions. The company owning the repository stopped maintaining it but didn't give up control either. Over the years you've put in a lot of work in publicapis.dev and that is much appreciated.

Also, that isn't really a list of "contributors", but of "organisations with the most stars". Those are different things.

For example "public-apis"[1] didn't "contribute" anything as that's not a person, and looking at GitHub[2] there are a bunch of substantial contributors (the person who created the organisation/repo only has 12 commits by the way);
