Contribution Guidelines

Unfortunately, not every library/tool/framework can be considered. The aim of the list is to provide a concise list of noteworthy software. This means that suggested software is either

(a) widely used so that its existence alone is a reason to know it regardless of personal opinion (b) highly discussed in the community due to its innovative nature (b) absolutely unique in its approach and function

If a certain entry does not get accepted, you should first look if there has been a discussion before. These discussions are in the issue section and normally marked with the question tag. If there hasn't been such a topic, you are free to create a new issue tagged as question.

Furthermore, please ensure your pull request follows the following guidlines:

  • Please search previous suggestions before making a new one, as yours may be a duplicate.
  • Please make an individual pull request for each suggestion.
  • Use the following format for libraries: [LIBRARY](LINK) - DESCRIPTION.
  • Prefix duplicate library names with their vendor or namespace followed by a space: Foo\Bar would be Foo Bar.
  • New categories, or improvements to the existing categorisation are welcome.
  • Keep descriptions short and simple.
  • End all descriptions with a full stop/period.
  • Check your spelling and grammar.
  • Make sure your text editor is set to remove trailing whitespace.

Thank you for your suggestions!
