This is a list with stuff I’ve come across somehow and some contributions people sent – thank you so much by the way!
It’s basically impossible to cover every single thing that is out there. To keep a manageable list, I’ve simplified the selection process to: things I find interesting and useful for me or like-minded folks.
There are no special affiliations or economic interests with anyone or anything. I personally know some of the creators featured here – and they’re awesome! As I stated, if something is here it’s because I believe it is valuable.
