Contributing

Contributions welcome! Open a PR with a clear one-line description for each resource. Quality bar:

  • GitHub repos: 50+ stars
  • Kaggle datasets: 1,000+ downloads
  • Websites: actively maintained with recent data
  • YouTube/Podcasts: established audience, technical depth
  • Provenance and claims: identify data sources and usage restrictions, and describe working features with their limitations. Performance claims need a defined metric and reproducible evaluation.
  • Security and privacy: tools handling accounts or API tokens must document storage, retention, and third-party sharing. Known unsafe defaults or materially contradictory security disclosures block inclusion. Risks isolated to optional features that are disabled by default may be accepted only with explicit warnings and safe settings.
  • Licensing and official accounts: use "open source" only with an explicit license, and verify official social accounts against first-party links or documentation.
  • AI-assisted work: judged by the same functionality, evidence, maintenance, and security standards; AI-assisted authorship alone is not a reason to reject a resource.
