Adding to this page

When you add a framework to this page, have a look at how others have done so, it should be a single item, with a link to the project's source code, and a short description (one line after formatting has been applied).

If you see a module without a description, feel free to edit the page and add it in, any contributions are appreciated.

When you edit this list, also add your module to library-compatibility so that users will know which versions of Node it was tested with.
