Awesome IPFS isn't awesome

[SgtPooki]

Todo

• Not a standard awesome list - and it should be (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md)
  • We should remove outdated and otherwise un-awesome repos (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#only-awesome-is-awesome)
  • Include an awesome badge in our readme. (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#awesome-badge)
  • We are included in the root awesome repo and should include the "mentioned" badge and encourage those in our list to include a mention badge that links back to our repo. (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#awesome-mentioned-badge)
  • Ensure we include the reason why an item is included and that it makes sense (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#comment-on-why-something-is-awesome)
  • Audit the list description (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#make-it-clear-what-the-list-is-about)
  • Audit grammar (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#pay-attention-to-grammar)
  • Use recommended license (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#choose-an-appropriate-license)
  • Audit contribution guidelines (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#include-contribution-guidelines)
  • Audit list style (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#stylize-your-list-properly)
  • Continue to be awesome (https://github.com/sindresorhus/awesome/blob/main/awesome.md#accept-other-peoples-opinion)
• Awesome-ipfs should be consumed and then prettified on explore.ipfs.io*

Proposals

• We should attempt to automate everything we can
  • Automatic PR creation to remove items that become out of date (older than X.. we need to define X)

Check links in readme

This could be added to a validator in a github action

cat README.md | awk '/\[([^\]]*)\]\(([^\)]*)\)/ { print $0 }' | perl -pe 's/.*\[([^\]]*)\]\(([^\)]*)\).*/$1 === $2/gm' | awk -F' === ' '{ print $2 }' | grep -v '^#' | xargs -tn1 -I% sh -c 'curl -s % > /dev/null || echo "% link is broken"'

Came here to add something like this as well to the README:
Last Commit date would be a useful way to sort through these projects.

Last Commit date would be a useful way to sort through these projects

I agree that this would be useful, but I don't believe this is standard. Are there examples of any existing lists doing this?

[mark-bleep]

Not that I'm aware of. It's the first thing I check in any repo, so if it's not part of the standard it should be.

There's a linter that can do the heavy lifting of checking the health of the links and making sure that the awesome list adheres to the format:

@mark-bleep I agree it would be useful, but if there are no readily available actions or other tools to keep that up to date then it's just something else for us to maintain that we unfortunately don't have time to do.

I would be happy to merge a PR including a maintenance free method of achieving your idea.
