AppLibsList
Collection of Libraries and Components for React App
Last week has been exciting for me. Launched AppLibsList.xyz and people are just loving it. In just 6 days 6000+ people have visited the site and 60+ have subscribed to it already. Most of the traffic is direct, which shows people are using it as a direct resource for React Components. It was trending top on r/reactjs with more than 340 upvotes on first day itself. TylerMcginnis listed it as a great resource for React Devs in his ReactJsNewsletter(http://reactjsnewsletter.com/issues/188#start) and it was then listed on codrops(https://tympanus.net/codrops/collective/collective-569/) as well. Sent the very first newsletter today. Today i was approached for advertisement sponsorship as well. I want to scale it further, i have started offering Sponsorships as well. Looking forward to launch on ProductHunt this month, which will help in bringing more traffic. Exciting times ahead.
I really can't believe this. Launched the MVP today and got 3 subscriptions already. People are just loving it. It feels good that i made something that people are finding useful. I shared the link on Reddit and It is currently being featured on sub-reddit r/reactjs with north of 60 upvotes. I am overwhelmed by all the love people are giving it. Thinking about to launch it on ProductHunt soon. will keep you guys updated :)
Launched the MVP of the applibslist.xyz. I hope it solves the problem of developers who end up keep searching for various libraries to use with React which are actively maintained and contributed. Will keep adding features as people start adopting it as it grows. There are a lot of features i have in mind for the app.

Nice work! I'd think you can get more subs!
I'd suggest changing your Call to Action: "Subscribe for awesome weekly trending collection (Psst! we don't spam)"
Nobody likes to subscribe. Nobody likes to subscribe. so just focus on the benefits of what they are getting.
"Stay up to date on React trends"
or "Every week we send the best, Enter your email to make sure you get them"
"Get the newest Libraries directly in your inbox each week"
And I'd change "Our Sponsors" to "Featured Products" and say at the bottom of that section "these are sponsored products, click here to sponsor and get featured" (or something similar)
Thanks a lot Andrew for those suggestions. really helpful :)
