* Please make an individual commit for each suggestion in a separate pull request.
* Use the following format for libraries: \[LIBRARY\]\(LINK\) - DESCRIPTION.
* Prefix duplicate library names with their vendor or namespace followed by a space: Foo\Bar would be Foo Bar.
* New categories, or improvements to the existing categorisation, are always welcome.
* Please keep descriptions short, simple and unbiased. No buzzwords or marketing jargon please.
* End all descriptions with a full stop/period.
* Check your spelling and grammar.
* Make sure your text editor is set to remove trailing whitespace.
* Your entry has been added alphabetically within the category.

* The description ends with a full stop/period and no trailing whitespace
* You've checked your spelling and grammar
* Your entry is added alphabetically to the category

Please make sure your suggestion meets all the criteria before submitting a pull request, or it may be closed without review.
