4. Webiny
Webiny is a platform for building serverless applications and APIs. Out of the box, we provide a complete plugin based admin interface and a set of ready-made apps. It is built for self-hosting on AWS, but we do consider multi-cloud deployment in the future.
The Easiest Way to Adopt Serverless

Webiny is the easiest way to adopt serverless!
Want to build an API? A React app? A full administration app for your product, website or mobile app? With Webiny you can do all that and then some! Your project will be bootstrapped and prepared for development of your next project in just a few moments. With the tools that come out of the box you'll be able to immediately deploy your project to the cloud (for now only AWS).
Our plugin-based approach to the whole system will make it easy for you to override, upgrade and tweak the system to fit your needs.

Awesome cheatsheets for popular programming languages, frameworks and development tools. They include everything you should know in one single file.
Why Awesome-Cheatsheets?
I usually make a cheat sheet when I want to improve my skills in a programming language, a framework or a development tool. I started doing these kinds of things a long time ago on Gist. To better keep track of the history and to let people contribute, I reorganized all of them into this single repository. Most of the content is coming from official documentation and some books I have read.
Feel free to take a look. You might learn new things. They have been designed to provide a quick way to assess your knowledge and to save you time.

8. All Contributors
This is a specification for recognizing contributors to an open source project in a way that rewards each and every contribution, not just code.
all-contributors / all-contributors
Recognize all contributors, not just the ones who push code
Call for translators! We're looking for translators to help translate this spec for everyone!
Bahasa Indonesia | Deutsch | Polski | |||

This is a specification for recognizing contributors to an open source project in a way that rewards each and every contribution, not just code.
The basic idea is this:
Use the project README (or another prominent public documentation page in the project) to recognize the contributions of members of the project community.
People are giving themselves and their free time to contribute to open source projects in so many ways, so we believe everyone should be praised for their contributions (code or not).
The All Contributors Table
Below is an example of how using the all-contributors spec table can recognize all contributors
You can use the @all-contributors bot to automate acknowledging contributors to your
