The daily.dev plugin is awesome. Thanks a lot!

And you also might want to add xstate to the "state" section: xstate.js.org/
It allows to write state machines to mange the app flow in addition to work as a state holder (in the context). At work we started using it a lot lately and have greatly reduced the size of our react components. The business logic moved into xstate and with the visualizer, it's always all clear how the app came to its current state and how it can go from there.

Nice list 😄, you have given multiple options for each topic, so now the reader is confused to choose the best website for each topic. For example Reading all the sites to know just HTML and CSS is waste of time. I think we should just learn basics from one website and start building things.

Agreed. But giving more time html and css is just waste. Giving more time to JS and other is awesome and helpful.
