Issue #136

This week, we’d like to announce the release of the JavaScript Rising Stars 2020, our annual round-up of the JavaScript landscape.

Check out the projects that got the most stars on GitHub in 2020.

This year we have 2 new “guest writers”:

Not only Next.js leads two different categories but the Rising Stars project itself is now built on top of Next.js (instead of Gatsby the previous years).

And guess who is the overall winner? Hint: it’s a dinosaur… and it wears a mask of course!
