Iren, how are the gems on this list decided?

For example, the Motion gem is nowhere near as popular as StimulusReflex by star count alone.

They were selected on the base of their popularity, buzz around the project during this particular period of time, and the potential of the project (how interesting this project is and what prospects it could have in future, evaluated according to my personal opinion).

I only ask because StimulusReflex and CableReady have been crushing it, lately. We're now regularly seeing job postings that mention SR in the stack description immediately after Rails and Postgres.

Meanwhile, I'm not aware of anyone using Motion in production.

Thanks for the hint! I haven’t heard of them before but will keep an eye on both when doing my next digest.
