Description
I've only browsed a few sections, but immediately I am overwhelmed with:
- Libraries nobody uses (less than 20 stars) [example]
- Libraries not maintained for 3+ years [example] [example] [example] [example]
- jQuery everything (and this isn't even exhaustive; there are unmarked jQuery libraries lying in wait) – jQuery is antiquated technology, if I see jQuery anywhere I immediately drop it off a cliff.

For this list to be remotely useful in 2021, it needs a thorough clean out of antiquated and unmaintained clutter.
