Monthly Most Popular JS Repositories. Fresh Lime

First of all, thank you for monitoring our blog with the most interesting JS projects updates! That means that all of our efforts bring something useful to the community. We understand that there is too many great stuff to share, but the size of the list we collect is finite, so we try to pick only the ‘brightest stars’. However, picking some of the repositories and leaving the others for the next round is always hard and subjective. That’s why we kindly ask you to write us your thoughts on the repositories we should pay our attention to next time. Your opinion means a lot! Secondly, in our ‘Fresh lime’ edition of monthly most popular JS repositories, you’ll find progressive Node framework, browser devtools extension, neat frameworks like Aurelia, block-styled editors, scroll animation plugin and many other cool open source JavaScript projects!
