[GitHub - veelenga/awesome-crystal: A collection of awesome Crystal libraries, tools, frameworks and software](https://github.com/veelenga/awesome-crystal) is usually what I use, tho both it and shardbox are manually curated. Whereas sites like [https://shards.info/](https://shards.info/) or [https://crystalshards.org/](https://crystalshards.org/) also scape GitHub and such to automatically index new shards.
