  • It solves a real problem
  • It does so in a 🦄 unique, 🦋 beautiful, or 🏆 exceptional way. (And it's not super popular and well-known... no point in listing those.)
  • It has recent code commits!

Look for a 🚀 for truly amazing projects. And look for quickie maintainer commentary and reviews in (italic parens) after some listings of note.

microsite is a fast, opinionated static-site generator (SSG) built on top of Snowpack. It outputs extremely minimal clientside code using automatic partial hydration.
