Looks great. I've had luck with http://www.javascriptoo.com/ too.

#22Re: JSDB.io – A Database of JavaScript Libraries
#23It's unfortunate that people still think they need monolithic libraries to get anything done on the client side. The node ecosystem showed this doesn't have to be the case. It becomes even more important on the client side to keep dependencies small.
My favourite ecosystem for client side development these days is component (https://github.com/component/component). It's similar in style to npm but faster and made for building apps from small modular pieces. It has a growing community and lots of modules already (https://github.com/component/component/wiki/Components).

I've had this debate with a friend who's a big proponent of EmberJS (and to a lesser degree Angular). My friend feels that without one of these libraries you will simply be writing way too much unnecessary boilerplate code for a single-page app of significant size. I personally prefer to rely on small modular dependencies, so Component appeals to me, but I've only played with Ember/Angular a little bit so I don't necessarily know what I'm missing. Can you recommend a set of Components that would provide similar functionality and productivity?

I'm still using backbone.js within our app but a lot of people seem to be using things like:
* https://github.com/component/view for views built on top of reactive for declarative bindings
* https://github.com/component/model for models
* https://github.com/component/router for routing
So what we have so far from these 3 libraries is basically a decomposed backbone with declarative bindings. That will cover 99% of your typical app. I don't find there is too much boilerplate.

I agree in as much as the small component I use is quite well supported and popular. Its a sort of insurance that I don't have to worry about bugs and it running stale. A lot of components in component seem to be written by a single person, and don't get much attention, which to me, is a liability.

#27What's the calculation for the ratings? Also would be great if there are sorting options. Otherwise this is really great!
three sorting options: recent, popular, trending. What kind of sorting were you looking for?
It struck me, while browsing that, I would like to be able to browse the libraries by excluding known types.
Things like "Show me all the things that are not frameworks or jQuery plugins"
I'm not looking for anything in particular, but it would nice to see the possibilities without having to search through things that I know I'm not looking for today.

Take a look at the Ember examples at http://emberjs.com/. They're doing a lot more with a lot less code. Backbone had its day, but the world is moving on, and a new project that only offers Backbone-equivalent functionality won't garner much interest from me or probably anyone.

Right, what you are looking for is advanced filtering options. Definitely something thats desirable, albeit hard to pull off for a side project ;)
