Description
We should have a page linking to useful 3rd party libraries to help developers find them.
We might want to have some criteria for inclusion, so that we link to well-maintained libraries. What well-maintained means is a big debate though, but we want to send users to libraries that will work for them.
Potential categories:
- Tools, like bundler or IDE plugins
- Integrations with other libraries (like Redux, Tanstack, etc)
- Lit-specific utilities
- _Extendable_ components and design systems. We don't want to make a component catalog here, because web components are interoperable it doesn't generally matter if they're built with Lit or not, but people may be looking for a design system implemented with Lit so that they can utilize base classes, helpers, etc., to extend it with their own components. Lit developers may also look for extendable components that have APIs that take Lit render-props, etc. like a Lit-specific table or tree.
- Starter kits
