What's the difference between this and typing 'react' in GitHub's search? What I would really love is a list of curated, quality, complete implementations that follow good practices, testing/documented code etc. that you can use as a reference for your own projects instead of just everything.

The point was to select the end-user applications projects, like "An extensible desktop mail app built on the modern web" and only highly-rated ones - the 1st in the list has more than 20K stars, the last one has 13 stars. I just saw the question in HN - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12802121 and wanted to contribute for broader audience. The technique of selecting the repos is described in https://medium.com/@sAbakumoff/react-entourage-6d51e7df9944#...

I also tried to type react in Github search and hit enter, but the list it provides is very, very different from the compilation I exposed..I am not sure if there are any similarities, it would be cool if you can elaborate on it.

The list is quite popular, so I updated it to include all the projects that have at least 1 star. It now has more than 5K projects. Please update the forks accordingly.

How can I add my react.js project to this list?

I can add it if you want, or you can fork the file and maintain/share your own copy of the list

out of interest, why did you do this as a gist rather than a project? That way, people could have raised pull-requests to add their project to your list.

That's a good question..I didn't think that this thing will be widely noticed, so I just copy-pasted the content to the gist as it was the easiest way to publish md file..

I would love to star gists from mobile...
