We should close this | edit: should we redirect this to the wiki?
It makes aframe look dead. Just turn it into the equivalent of a subreddit if nothing else. Preferably make it a wiki so the community can maintain it. Almost anything would be better than it sitting here as a monument to 2016/2017. A month into an A-frame project, I still can't shake the feeling that aframe is dying because almost every example I look up is old, and this created that strong first impression.
Just a heads up to others who end up here: I went ahead and made that wiki eventually, and at this point I would say it is a success. See: https://aframe.wiki/component-directory
That said, I would hope/suggest:
- We redirect this URL to that page for the short term.
- Longer term, I'd be interested in updating this to dynamically reflect that page with its current format, or something along those lines. The presentation in the wiki could be improved--it's very utilitarian right now, which is great (and maintainable), but could be better.
Open to other spin-offs of this idea, but I do think this website sitting around in its current form, especially since it's still pointed to in the docs, is likely hurting A-Frame's ability to retain new users.

@kylebakerio thanks for bringing this up — yeah, certainly would prefer the list be maintained and up to date, that is more important than any web-appy browsing features. As a working hypothesis, I hope and expect a wiki will stay more evergreen, but ultimately it comes down to people maintaining the resource.
If @dmarcos agrees then I'm good with the idea of archiving this repository and pointing to a wiki. It would probably be best to have some redundant admin ownership of the wiki.
