  • awesome

    😎 Awesome lists about all kinds of interesting topics

  • Project mention: AI-generated content, other unfavorable practices get CNET on Wikipedia banlist | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-03

    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.

    We use Jest Framework for testing. Jest is not a dogma, and, of course, in its place can be any other test runner, such as Mocha or Ava. Let's focus on tests. I'll provide a short example because I don’t want to waste your time. You can find the full version here. It's crucial to read the comments in the code below. Let's go!

  • awesome-oss-alternatives

    Awesome list of open-source startup alternatives to well-known SaaS products πŸš€

  • Project mention: Ask HN: What Underrated Open Source Project Deserves More Recognition? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-03-07

    I see that you said github repo, but my life experience has been that those "awesome" style repos are committed to once and then ignore all pull requests or issues going forward. Thus, I think the audience would be better served by AlternativeTo or one of its ilk, which offers a licensing filter on their lists (e.g. https://alternativeto.net/software/github/?license=opensourc... )

    But, a quick search for alternative coughed up a few results, which exhibit the behavior I described https://github.com/RunaCapital/awesome-oss-alternatives#awes... https://github.com/btw-so/open-source-alternatives?tab=readm...

    One may also find more via topic exploration, e.g. https://github.com/topics/alternatives
