AwesomeSearch

Top Pro

Simple navigation

On the left of the site are a bunch of categories, and each of those are divided into sub-categories. this makes it very quick and easy to find what you're looking for without wading through other content. Once you've selected the list you want, the bigger lists have a table of contents where you can skip ahead to what you're looking for. See More

Top Con

Difficult to search: no way to search for a tool name among all the Awesome Lists at once

For example you cannot just go to Awesome.re and search the repository for Postman. See More

Top Pro

Great place to get hundreds of choices

The information may not be extremely detailed, but there is a lot of content on the site. This is one of the best sites to look through if you want a list of virtually every choice possible. See More

Top Con

Alphabetical sorting makes it harder to skim content

Often times when searching through lists, it's quickest and easiest to have a few of the best options represented near the top of the page, as most people aren't going to scroll down and look through each option. See More

Top Con

Short descriptions give limited scope

The way the site is organized gives you lots of options at a glance, however with only a single line description you'll almost always need to click the link to see what the options actually offer. See More
