Lists, Directories & Discovery — Useful Sites

SitePatent

2026-11-04T14:43:54Z

Curated web directory showcasing independent websites and digital products; relies on editorial selection rather than algorithmic feeds.

https://sitepatent.com

AtlasRepo

2026-10-18T00:00:00Z

A searchable catalogue of roughly 40,000 open-source projects with summaries, categories and quality scores, also exposed to coding agents via MCP. Unlike star-ranked lists its scoring method is published. A free account and paid plans exist.

https://atlasrepo.com

Awesome Maps+Data

2026-10-18T00:00:00Z

A list of real-time map and data-visualisation sites (aviation, space, weather, history, marine, cyber threats). Unlike general link lists, it only gathers interactive map/data experiences.

https://github.com/thedoubler/awesome-maps-data

Awesome Obsidian Vaults

2026-10-18T00:00:00Z

Topic-grouped list of ready-made notes vaults and digital gardens for developers and learners, downloadable for offline use in Obsidian, with automated link checking. Unlike plugin lists, it distributes content (notes).

https://github.com/obsidian-pkm-vault/awesome-obsidian-vault

Awesome Web Scraping

2026-10-18T00:00:00Z

A web-scraping list of libraries, services and manuals split by language (Python, PHP, Ruby, JS, Go, CLI). Unlike one library's docs, it lays out the whole ecosystem per language.

https://github.com/lorien/awesome-web-scraping

Awesome Zsh Plugins

2026-10-18T00:00:00Z

A list of Zsh plugins, themes and the frameworks that manage them (Oh My Zsh, antigen, zinit and others). It goes beyond Oh My Zsh's bundled plugins and categorises the ones outside it. It lists far more than the plugins Oh My Zsh bundles.

https://github.com/unixorn/awesome-zsh-plugins

best-of-digital-gardens

2026-10-18T00:00:00Z

A weekly-updated, star-ranked list of about 100 digital gardens (personal wikis and note sites) whose source lives in a git repository. Unlike hand-curated garden lists, its ranking is generated and kept current automatically.

https://github.com/lyz-code/best-of-digital-gardens

HeadlessBrowsers

2026-10-18T00:00:00Z

A list of headless browsers and their drivers (Puppeteer, Playwright, Selenium, PhantomJS successors and more) sorted by language. It answers at a glance which tool works in which language and engine, and which have gone unmaintained. Rather than documenting one tool, it compares all of them by language and engine.

https://github.com/dhamaniasad/HeadlessBrowsers

Map All Spaces

2026-10-18T00:00:00Z

Combines hackerspaces, fablabs and makerspaces from SpaceAPI, Fablab.io and the Hackerspaces wiki on one map, with a heatmap of open/closed status. Unlike a single network map it merges several sources.

https://mapall.space

Awesome Awesomeness

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A list of awesome lists, grouped by topic. Unlike the sindresorhus/awesome index it is flatter and wider, covering more niche lists.

https://github.com/bayandin/awesome-awesomeness

BetaList

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

Early-access listings for startups that have not launched yet. Unlike Product Hunt it shows pre-launch products, so you meet them before the crowd — the catch being that some never launch.

https://betalist.com/

Changelog

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

Podcasts and a news feed about software development and open source. Unlike general tech podcasts it stays with practitioners: maintainers and builders explaining how they work.

https://changelog.com/

daily.dev

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A personalised developer news aggregator. Unlike a single curated list it learns your topics and pulls many sources into one feed.

https://daily.dev/

DEV Community

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A free blogging and discussion community for programmers. Unlike Medium it is developer-only, with tags as the main way to navigate; posts range from beginner tutorials to deep dives.

https://dev.to/

Hacker News

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

Y Combinator’s link-and-discussion board for programming, startups and technology. Unlike Reddit it is one ranked front page with short, expert-heavy comments; Lobsters is the smaller, invitation-only alternative.

https://news.ycombinator.com/

Hashnode

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A blogging platform for developers where you publish on your own domain. Unlike DEV the blog is yours (custom domain) while still appearing in a shared feed.

https://hashnode.com/

Indie Hackers

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A community where founders share the revenue and strategy behind small products and side projects. Unlike general startup media it publishes the unglamorous detail: what a product actually earned and how it found its first users.

https://www.indiehackers.com/

Indieblog.page

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A discovery site that sends you to a random post from a personal blog at the press of a button. Unlike blog lists you do not choose, so you run into voices you would not have looked for.

https://indieblog.page/

Lobsters

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A smaller computing link board, joined by invitation, with tag-based filtering. Unlike Hacker News it is narrower and slower, with stricter moderation and the option to mute topics.

https://lobste.rs/

Marginalia Search

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A small independent search engine favouring text-heavy sites that ask for no cookies or newsletters. Unlike Google it deliberately downranks SEO-inflated pages: fewer and stranger results, but often better for reading.

https://marginalia-search.com/

Product Hunt

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A daily, community-voted ranking of newly launched products. Unlike review sites such as G2 it is about what launched today — the quickest way to see what is new, though the ranking rewards launch-day effort more than lasting quality.

https://www.producthunt.com/

SaaSHub

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A software-alternatives directory: name a product and get comparable tools with side-by-side pages. Unlike AlternativeTo it centres on SaaS and startup products.

https://www.saashub.com/

Sidebar

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

Five design links every weekday, picked by one curator. Unlike feeds that throw everything at you it limits the choice on purpose, so a minute is enough.

https://sidebar.io/

StackShare

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

Shows which tools companies and developers build their products with, one stack page per company. Unlike comparison sites it answers “what do real teams run?” rather than “which is best?”; the data is self-reported and can be out of date.

https://stackshare.io/

Wiby

2026-10-09T09:00:00Z

A search engine for the classic, lightweight web, with a “surprise me” button. Unlike Marginalia its index is built from pages people submitted, so it is smaller and hand-picked.

https://wiby.me/

Awesome Developer-First

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A list of products that target developers as the user. Unlike general SaaS lists, it picks only developer-targeted products, usually API- and CLI-first.

https://github.com/agamm/awesome-developer-first

Awesome Engineering Strategy

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A resource list for designing and executing engineering strategy. Unlike general management lists, it focuses on setting technical direction — writing strategy, architecture decisions, technology choices.

https://github.com/aleixmorgadas/awesome-engineering-strategy

Awesome Engineering Team Management

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A resource list for transitioning from software development into management. Unlike general management books, it focuses on topics specific to engineering teams: hiring, one-on-ones, technical debt, team structure.

https://github.com/kdeldycke/awesome-engineering-team-management

Awesome Indie

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A resource list for building independent developer businesses. Unlike startup and VC-oriented resources, it focuses on building a small, profitable business without outside investment.

https://github.com/mezod/awesome-indie

Awesome Markdown

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A list of editors, converters and resources for the Markdown markup language. Unlike a single editor, it brings together editors, converters and dialects such as CommonMark and GFM.

https://github.com/BubuAnabelas/awesome-markdown

Awesome Naming

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A list of guides on naming things in computer science. Unlike general style guides, it focuses only on naming — variables, functions, APIs.

https://github.com/gruhn/awesome-naming

Awesome OKR

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A resource list for OKR goal-setting and communication best practices. Unlike general productivity lists, it gathers guides, examples and tools specific to the OKR method.

https://github.com/domenicosolazzo/awesome-okr

Awesome Read the Docs

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A list of example documentation projects to inspire your own. Unlike documentation-tool lists, it shows examples rather than tools: real projects that are well put together.

https://github.com/readthedocs-examples/awesome-read-the-docs

Awesome Regex

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A list of tools and resources for regular expressions (regex), the pattern-matching language. Unlike a single tester such as regex101, it brings together tools, libraries, flavour differences and tutorials; maintained by Steven Levithan, author of XRegExp.

https://github.com/slevithan/awesome-regex

Awesome Speakers

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A list of conference and meetup speakers in the programming community. Unlike conference sites, it gathers speakers with their topics and links in one list — for organisers.

https://github.com/karlhorky/awesome-speakers

Awesome Stacks

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A list of tech stacks used for building different kinds of apps.

https://github.com/stackshareio/awesome-stacks

Awesome Standards

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A list of the proposals and standards (RFCs and more) that define the internet and software. Unlike searching RFCs one by one, it groups standards by area — web, networking, security, file formats.

https://github.com/donBarbos/awesome-standards

Awesome Tech Ethics

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A list of ethics resources focused on mitigating technology’s potential harms. Unlike general ethics resources, it targets software and data practice: principles, case studies, courses.

https://github.com/sampart/awesome-tech-ethics

Awesome Unicode

2026-09-18T00:00:00Z

A resource list for the Unicode standard, its quirks and its tools. Unlike the standard itself, it demonstrates the quirks — invisible characters, homoglyphs, normalisation — with examples.

https://github.com/jagracey/Awesome-Unicode
