Awesome osu! resources

An opinionated list of awesome osu! resources for every part of the game and community. Inspired by sindresorhus/awesome and osu-translate-zh/awesome-osu.

Note

As of time of archiving, this project has already been stale for some years, and never really got past its early stage in the first place.

For more updated attempts at a similar directory of osu! projects, I recommend checking services like https://resources.osucord.moe/ and https://tools.osuck.net/, or using a search engine to find more.
