Wtf does this do

Awesome Elm is a community-curated collection of resources for anyone interested in the Elm programming language. Elm is a language designed specifically for building web applications, and this repository serves as a one-stop reference hub. Instead of containing code itself, it organizes links to practical tools, tutorials, and real-world projects so you do not have to search the web from scratch. The repository acts as an organized directory. It groups links into categories like examples of apps built with Elm, learning materials, articles, videos, and podcasts. If you want to see what the language is capable of, you can browse the examples section, which links to games, clones of familiar apps, and business applications. If you are trying to learn, you can jump straight to tutorials, syntax cheat sheets, or recorded conference talks. Anyone in the community is welcome to submit new links to keep the list current. This collection is designed for beginner programmers, founders, and product managers who want to explore Elm or evaluate it for their own projects. A startup founder wondering if the language is practical for a real business could read a linked article about running a company on Elm. A beginner could follow a step-by-step video course, while a curious developer could study an example app that integrates Elm with a backend API. The resources span from basic syntax overviews to advanced topics like application architecture. The project is currently looking for a new maintainer to take over its upkeep. Because it is a community-driven list, its value depends on volunteers contributing and organizing the links. The README does not go into detail about specific technical requirements to maintain it, but it does outline general contribution guidelines for adding new resources to the directory.
