This is cool. I found something off. If you filter by haskell, you see:

""" krispo/awesome-haskell

A lean and efficient implementation of Python 3 for microcontrollers. """

Same description for awesome-go.

Not sure if it's something to do with awesome-go's description mentioning it was inspired be awesome-python

A lot of them have an incorrect description.

Now, could this list contain itself?

A set that contains all things must contain itself by definition.

Russell's paradox?

That would be…awesome.

There's https://github.com/t3chnoboy/awesome-awesome-awesome a meta list of other lists-of-lists. And before anybody gets the idea: awesome-awesome-awesome-awesome already exists.

Awesome-n: auto scan GitHub for awesome-n lists and create awesome-n+1. Although 2 of these in a fight wouldn't be great.

We'll start needing some kind of notation… maybe we'll have to adopt the Knuth up-arrow. Awesome↑↑-list

Great concept and implementation. Anyone know how they found "all" awesome lists? For example the Awesome Nuclear [1] list is missing.

Suggestion: Make it obvious where to click to navigate to the _actual_ Awesome List. Everything that is visibly clickable within the panels is _not_ the Awesome List (tags, share link, metadata URL…). It took me a few minutes to realize that you need to click the area around these items to get to the details pop-up about the Awesome List, where you can then click a link to view the Awesome List.

Some of the lists have a "Visit" link, but it is missing from many of them for some reason.

Github is reaching peak list.

We could make a list of lists...and call it "Gopher" or something.

We must create an awesome list of posts of awesome lists

Is it mostly only for programming/software lists? A couple I searched for like these ones:

https://github.com/davidliwei/awesome-CRISPR

https://github.com/seandavi/awesome-single-cell

https://github.com/danielecook/Awesome-Bioinformatics

https://github.com/eselkin/awesome-computational-neuroscienc...

https://github.com/websemantics/awesome-synthetic-biology

aren't showing up when I search, but they are obviously more biology/software related, so not sure if that's by design.

Most of the `awesome` lists I use on here, and there's no clear way (ironically) of contributing to the list. Oh well.

Side note: not sure if I just haven't been paying attention, but I noticed the slider pagination (with option to click one page at a time) and thought it is really neat. Is there a reason why this isn't more of a thing in UI design? Would it make it 'too easy' to navigate to different pages, and increasing database queries?

Lists don't qualify as Show HNs: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html, and lists of lists are lists.

You've buried the lede with this post! The real Show HN here is clearly not the list, but the tool you used to make it. Why don't you write something about that, and we can change the title to reflect it?

Here's what I usually tell people: add a comment to the thread giving the backstory of how you came to work on this, and explaining what's different about it. That tends to seed discussion in a good direction. (See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22336638 for this tip and others.)

For even better results, explain what problem you're solving and why it matters. What's the pain your product addresses? Where were you when you first encountered this and what made you decide to start a startup around it? What are some specific examples of things that customers have used your product to do? This is the sort of thing that HN readers find interesting.

Thanks for the feedback! I added a comment. Let me know what you think :)

Ok, I think I may have misunderstood. What is your relationship to the platform Polymer Search? I assumed it was your project, in which case that is what the Show HN should be about. But when I read the comment you added, it sounds like you just used someone else's tool, and you can't make a Show HN out of someone else's tool, since those are for sharing your own personal work (https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html).

This is a list compiled from `sindresorhus/awesome`, no?

I like the interface as a showcase for Polymer Search, but to be honest, ⌘/ctrl+F on the awesome list is good enough for me. The lack of filtering is a bonus for me, so that I also stumble upon new lists while searching for known topics.

Hi HN, I have been trying to find a way to better organize all the awesome lists on GitHub that is more searchable and discoverable. I find long lists great for finding a single resource but not so great for discovering resources. I wrote some scraping scripts along with the Github API to create a massive CSV of resources and tons of useful attributes (15+).

I then used the data platform Polymer Search to convert that to a searchable & interactive web interface. I will continue improving this list, so please let me know what else you find useful!
