Curated list for developers using Gatsby JS

I always had useful tools and libraries bookmarked. But somehow when I need them or recall them and try to find them its a daunting task. So I create a curated list where I save all my cool findings.
I built it using Gatsby JS which is a new cool static site generator. I store all my finding in YAML files with categories. And using Gatsby we can query the data using GraphQl inside a react component. You can find the website here at openik.com
