Widgets was intended for embedded code like Google Maps and tweets. It's not as commonplace at it used to be.

I wouldn't mind differentiating between back and frontend frameworks. Perhaps web frameworks can be reserved for backend and we add a new category UI frameworks for frontend.

I don't understand the Widget category. I like the UI framework idea though.

I like this idea, I think the only thing is just getting semantics right, then we can start reorganizing. I'm thinking:

  • Convert "Web Framework" to "Web Application Framework"

    • This would encompass apps like .NET, Laravel, Symfony, MeteorJS, etc.

  • Add a new category "UI Framework"

    • This is loose enough to cover actual Frontend Frameworks, like Bootstrap and Zurb, but include smaller, more tailored UI tools like Tailwind, Skeleton, etc. Also there's no "Backend" category, so it wouldn't make sense to add / change that now.

Sounds good!
