Products that do what I wrote a good React book / website does

Pre-covid, I was traveling full time to teach ReactJS to corporate clients. My students (mostly developers at banks and insurance companies) would ask me 'What's a good React book?' and I would struggle to recommend something, knowing that all the books sucked or were really out of date. When all my face-to-face training work dried up and I really didn't want to do online training, I magically got a contract to write a book.

Recently, I was looking for new component libraries to use, but I realized… there’s no single platform showcasing ALL component libraries across frameworks—especially independent, bootstrapped ones. No wonder so many projects default to MUI, DaisyUI, and other mainstream options. So, I decided to fix that. I collected 75+ libraries for React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, Rails, Nuxt, and…
