Awesome MicroPython list, pfalcon's version

TL;DR: https://github.com/pfalcon/awesome-micropython
It occurs to me that somewhere around autumn of this year, MicroPython has finally achieved on its goal - being a solid choice and alternative in the area of "small languages". There's something interesting popping up every week, and I myself finding that I'm losing track of things. So, I seriously started thinking of moving my scattered notes in some central place, formatting it as an "awesome list" per the latest fashion. I actually googled up if someone did before. Adafruit of course maintain it for CircuitPython, but that's just a small walled garden in MicroPython universe. I found a couple of other projects, but they didn't seem to be actively maintained, with just a handful of commits, apparently following the idea "let me start, and then people will flow in who'll do rest of work". That never works. Actually, I never saw them announced on the forum, and even search didn't turn up anything.
So, pressured by more news and questions coming it, I decided to give it a try myself. Besides, as a developer of 40% of (changes to) MicroPython, and 95% of micropython-lib, I consider I may have a unique perspective at it
. I however decided to police myself with actually maintaining it for a bit before announcing. Well, 30 commits and 4 weeks later, I still have a lot of stuff to add to it, and desire to do it, so here it goes: https://github.com/pfalcon/awesome-micropython . The focus so far is to capture library coverage of the IT space, other stuff is coming later definitely too.
