Looks great, love the list so thanks for putting it together.

In an ideal world your table would also have a first commit row that way I can better compare how well established each library is (GitHub stars mostly does this but date of first commit would help give sense of momentum too)

I didn't post the site to HN, but I did create it. Adding the first commit is an interesting idea. Or some way to measure longevity (i.e. how long has the library been worked on). I'll try to figure out a good way to do that or if you put up a PR I will take a look at it: https://github.com/adamghill/unsuckjs.com.

Nice idea! I was just surprised to see the table rows and columns opposite of what I’m used to seeing in lists where one dimension is more likely to grow much longer than the other.

i.e. I would have expected the libraries as rows, rather than columns. More like such lists are typically done in Wikipedia.

It definitely might make more sense that way! I was playing around with different ways to display the data and landed on this approach even though maybe it's a little clunky. I could flip it and see how it feels -- thanks for the suggestion!
