What this list looks like at a glance

These 10 repos carry 377,085 GitHub stars between them. VoltAgent/awesome-design-md leads with 107,612, and the smallest here, PanXProject/awesome-certificates, has 5,505. That spread is normal for awesome-lists: a topic usually has one or two lists everybody links to, then a tail of narrower ones that cover a corner the big list skips.

7 of the 10 were pushed to within the last year as of the 2026-08-10 snapshot. Star count tells you how many people bookmarked a list, not whether anyone still maintains it, so the push date is the more useful number when you are deciding which one to actually follow. Our guide on how to tell if a repo is still maintained covers what else to check.
