About GotoNotes
GotoNotes is a fast index of GitHub's "awesome-list" repositories, the curated, crowd-maintained lists of libraries, tools, and learning resources that developers publish as plain README files on GitHub. Reading one of those READMEs directly on GitHub means scrolling a single long page with no sorting and no real search. GotoNotes organizes 113 of them into 12 browsable topics, sorted by star count, so you can scan faster.
How it's built
Topics are hand-curated categories, chosen the way an editor picks sections, not generated automatically. The repos WITHIN each topic are not hand-picked: they come live from the GitHub Search API, querying for repositories tagged with the real GitHub topic awesome-list crossed with a topic keyword, sorted by star count. Every fact shown, name, description, star count, and last-push date, is copied directly from that live API response at snapshot time. Nothing is invented, summarized, or rewritten. The current snapshot was taken 2026-07-20; this is a periodic snapshot, not a live feed, and the page says so plainly rather than implying real-time accuracy.
How it's different from libhunt.com and project-awesome.org
It isn't dramatically different, and this page isn't going to pretend otherwise. libhunt.com and project-awesome.org cover the same "index of awesome-lists" space and have been doing it longer. GotoNotes exists because the format is cheap to build well and there's room for another fast, honest index, not because of some unique differentiator neither of those sites has. If you already use one of them and it works for you, there's no reason to switch. If you land here from a search, you should get the same real GitHub data, organized simply, with no signup wall and no ads blocking the actual list.
How it makes money
Ad placement, when and if it's added; no lead capture, no affiliate links, no paid placement of any repo. GotoNotes doesn't sell or influence ranking within a topic; every list is sorted by real star count only.
Is a repo mislabeled, missing, or should it not be listed here? This is an index of public data, not an editorial judgment on any individual project; corrections to topic categorization are welcome.
