More and more projects are added to open source for your benefit. This is a great practice to use the achievements of other developers in your project. What is tricky — there are many repositories with the same purpose that are equally awesome. In my JS digest, I was trying to pick only the most interesting and useful. In May, this list consists of 33 of them.

A shameless self promotion, but js-coroutines hit jsdotgit trending over the last period. Launched on May 24th here on DEV it's up to 145+ stars until now. Very happy about that!
That’s awesome! Congrats! I’ll monitor your project!
Why did you stop doing the Ruby/Rails gems list?
Oh, sorry. The beginning of a year was too busy for two digests, so I decided to continue with JS. But I do monitor Ruby on Rails projects as well. Just not enough time for putting this all together. But thank you so much for the interest in Rails digest. I’ll do my best to come back to it again some day.
I get that.
If you dont mind sharing your method of data collection and how to do the write ups I'd be happy to take it over until you have more time.
No worries either way.
ajv possibly will help us write standardized code with json schema (number five). Nifty.
I'll be extremely happy if this project will help yours!
Wow, nice collection
