So you've included:

Bootstrap, a highly opinionated framework for lazy backend developers, but not TailwindCSS.
Airbnb styleguide instead of a link to, let's say, prettier and eslint
Axios, mostly redundant library that was replaced by fetch
Vue and react but not something like svelte(kit), solid or astro. Or at least nuxt and next
d3 that is used in such a specific cases that it doesn't belong to "in high demand"
moment.js - a deprecated library
express.js - something that can be replaced with benefits by other libraries
a list that you didn't write

Did i get it right?

Ah, damn, here we go again

I don't know why you decided to hide my comment, where I told you why your list is not that good, after changing it, but... it still is not that good:

code camp is kinda nice, but it doesn't fit in "repositories" list.
vue,angular,react - same as I said before: where is svelte? solid? qwik? astro? leptos? etc. If you want to include UI frameworks, just add them all, no? Oh, there's also htmx now... welp
react-native - same, where are most known/used alternatives?
bootstrap - I said before, why did you include opinionated UI kit, but not TailwindCSS? There's a ton of UI kits for different UI frameworks. Material? Ant? DaisyUI? Where are they?
d3, as I stated, not something everyone will use, why?
tensorflow is not everyone will use. if you want to ad Stats and ML related repos, please add others: keras, numpy, pandas, etc. Yes, it's python, but most stats and ML tools will be written in python anyway.
webpack is now being replaced by vite. why did you include something old, but not something new, that community already uses widely?
express is not the best choice, I said it already.

Also, why does this list contain only javascript related repos, if you didn't strictly bound it to front-end anyway? Why not python? Go? Hell, add Rust for some upvotes! It looks like you misunderstood or misused "Web Dev" with "Frontend dev" and then remembered, that you also have few more repos and just smashed them together.
