Awesome Side Quests Awesome

A loosely organized list of GitHub repos I starred because they looked useful, clever, weird, or likely to become relevant in some unexpected future.

Broad interests, light curation, and just enough order to keep the interesting bits from escaping.

This is not a strict canon or a carefully pruned "best of" list. It is a map of side quests across AI, frontend, mobile, backend, game development, devtools, and whatever else wandered into view and seemed worth keeping.
