The end of the year is here and after reading countless best of and countdown lists I found an opportunity to create my own. I realized a long time ago that most of my bookmarks were to GitHub projects. At that point, I stopped creating GitHub bookmarks and started starring projects. I accumulate a lot of great projects. Some of them seem awesome when I am introduced them, but over time I realize it's very unlikely I will ever actually use them. My idea to create an end of year list provided me the opportunity to go through my list of starred items for the year. These are the projects that survived the cut in the order I found them oldest first.
