### Researched & skipped (2026-08-01 run, 13:17 UTC)

First backlog research pass. The high-quality git-PR well is largely tapped — the awesome-lists
in Tier 1 already cover the fresh, fitting lists. **One** new venue found and acted on this run
([lyqht/awesome-supabase](https://github.com/lyqht/awesome-supabase), 478★ → PR #62). Everything
below was verified live this run (★, last push, merge cadence, **and** section fit via the actual
README headings). Do **not** re-research.

| [dhamaniasad/awesome-postgres](https://github.com/dhamaniasad/awesome-postgres) | 12k | Postgres *tools/libs* (HA, Backups, GUI, CLI, Extensions, Language bindings…). Verified headings — no app-starter section |
| [georgezouq/awesome-saas](https://github.com/georgezouq/awesome-saas) | 54 | Hosted SaaS *products* by category (Marketing, Analytics, CMS, AI…). Verified headings — no boilerplate/template section |
| [Atarity/deploy-your-own-saas](https://github.com/Atarity/deploy-your-own-saas) | 9.8k | "Deploy your own X" self-hostable *products* (VPN, Music, Netflix…). Verified headings — no boilerplate section |
| [automata/awesome-jamstack](https://github.com/automata/awesome-jamstack) | 1.4k | Sections: SSG / CMS / API / Jamstack Showcase. No starters section; we're a dynamic SaaS (sessions + Postgres + Stripe), not Jamstack. Misfit |

| [Correia-jpv/fucking-awesome-nextjs](https://github.com/Correia-jpv/fucking-awesome-nextjs) | 133 | Auto-updated static mirror; **no license** — contributing is legally murky. Skip |
| awesome-stripe (brandonhimpfen / codebruinc) | ≤4 | Only low-reach Stripe lists exist |
| [matthiasfeist/awesome-drizzle](https://github.com/matthiasfeist/awesome-drizzle) | 3 | `awesome-drizzle` exists now but 3★ / stale — too small. Re-check once it grows |
| [victorocna/awesome-react-starter](https://github.com/victorocna/awesome-react-starter) | 20 | Fresh (2026-07) but tiny reach; not worth a slot yet. Re-check if it grows |
| [nextjstemplates.com](https://nextjstemplates.com) | — | Curated Next.js template site (Creativeship). **No open submit flow** — `/submit` is 404, homepage exposes no submit/contact link. MANUAL only if a route turns up |

> No email-channel venues this run: the fitting awesome-lists are PR-based, and cold-emailing
> round-up bloggers/curators to add us is borderline-spammy and violates "quality over volume".
> Same for nudging the 8 open PRs — pestering, not outreach. Deliberately not done.
