Adds the content expansion that PR #9 (hygiene and CI) deferred, and reorders the list so it reads roughly top-down by how someone encounters Coder: what it is, the platform components, how to define environments, how to connect to and operate them, then external content.

New sections

  • Platform and Tools: coder/coder, coder/registry, coder/code-server, coder/envbuilder, coder/envbox, coder/preview.
  • AI Coding Agents: AI Coder documentation, Coder Agents, Tasks.
  • Modules: pointer to registry.coder.com/modules.
  • Terraform Providers: coder/terraform-provider-coder and coder/terraform-provider-coderd.
  • Coder Desktop: coder/coder-desktop-macos, coder/coder-desktop-windows.

Existing sections

  • Official Resources: adds Mastodon, YouTube, and the [Dev]olution Podcast.
  • IDEs renamed to IDE Integrations; adds coder/vscode-coder, coder/jetbrains-coder, coder/coder-jetbrains-toolbox.
  • Templates: flattened into a single alphabetized list with a short intro that points to the Coder Registry first. Descriptions for sharkymark/v2-templates, matifali/coder-templates, and uwu/basic-env were tightened. 8Bitz0/coder-rust-template was dropped.
  • Automation: adds coder/box.
  • Tutorials and Blog Posts: adds six Coder posts on Kubernetes namespaces as dev environments, four reference architectures for CDEs, the Well-Architected Framework, enterprise security and governance, deploying AI agents at scale, and the OpenClaw/Rabbit R1 build.
  • Talks and Videos: adds four substantive picks to complement the three existing entries:
    • Tim Quinlan at PlatformCon 2024 on shifting developer runtimes left without standing up a platform-engineering org.
    • Eric Paulsen (Field CTO) on Cloud Development Environments as policy-driven infrastructure.
    • Skydio + Coder on scaling AI coding agents to a million-line monorepo, a concrete customer story for the AI-agents narrative.
    • Rob Whiteley (CEO) HumanX 2026 lightning talk on ten practical governance controls for autonomous coding agents.

Section order is now: Official Resources, Platform and Tools, AI Coding Agents, Templates, Modules, Terraform Providers, IDE Integrations, Coder Desktop, Automation, Tutorials and Blog Posts, Talks and Videos.

.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/1-suggest-resource.yaml: Suggested section dropdown updated to match the new structure.

Rebased onto current main to pick up the dependabot bun ecosystem fix, the awesome-lint 0.18.6 → 2.3.0 bump, the github-actions bumps, and the logo refresh from #19. Lints clean against the new awesome-lint 2.3.0.

Changes:

  • Reorders and expands README sections, adding new categories (Platform and Tools, AI Coding Agents, Modules, Terraform Providers, IDE Integrations, Coder Desktop) and many new links.
  • Refactors Templates into a single community-maintained list preceded by a pointer to the Coder Registry.
  • Updates the issue template’s “Suggested section” dropdown options to include the new sections.

Add new sections for first-party Coder projects that exist now but
were not represented in the README, and restructure Templates to put
the Coder Registry front and center.

New sections:
- Platform and Tools: coder/coder, coder/registry, coder/code-server,
  coder/envbuilder, coder/envbox, coder/preview.
- IDE Integrations: coder/vscode-coder, coder/jetbrains-coder,
  coder/coder-jetbrains-toolbox, plus the existing Workspace access
  docs link and the private VS Code Marketplace blog post.
- Coder Desktop: coder/coder-desktop-macos, coder/coder-desktop-windows.
- AI Coding Agents: coder/agentapi, the AI Coder docs, and Tasks.
- Modules: pointer to registry.coder.com/modules.
- Terraform Providers: coder/terraform-provider-coder (template-side
  resources) and coder/terraform-provider-coderd (deployment
  management).

Templates restructured into 'On the Registry' and 'Not on the
Registry' sub-sections. The curated third-party list is preserved and
alphabetized by owner.

Issue template:
- Add the new sections to the 'Suggested section' dropdown in
  1-suggest-resource.yaml.

Verified locally with prettier, awesome-lint, typos, and linkspector.
Linkspector now sees 61 URLs (up from 39), 0 failed, 0 archived.

…ence, and AI-governance content

Adds four substantive talks/webinars to round out the section:

- Tim Quinlan at PlatformCon 2024 on shifting developer runtimes
  left without standing up a platform-engineering org.
- Eric Paulsen (Field CTO) on Cloud Development Environments as
  policy-driven infrastructure.
- Skydio + Coder on scaling AI coding agents to a million-line
  monorepo, a concrete customer story for the AI-agents narrative.
- Rob Whiteley (CEO) HumanX 2026 lightning talk on ten practical
  governance controls for autonomous coding agents.

Each entry is a real talk or in-depth conversation, not a short
product demo or PR announcement, and complements the three
existing entries.

…r Desktop, and section order

README.md:
  Platform and Tools
  - Replace coder/envbox (unmaintained) with coder/mux and coder/boo,
    Coder's newer products covering parallel agent multiplexing and
    agent-friendly terminal multiplexing.

  IDE Integrations
  - Drop coder/jetbrains-coder (Gateway plugin) since JetBrains Gateway
    is no longer in support.
  - Note that coder/vscode-coder also works in Cursor, Windsurf, and
    Kiro since they are VS Code forks.
  - Add the Cursor, Zed, Windsurf, and Kiro registry modules so each
    editor has a documented one-click integration entry.
  - Extend the Workspace access blurb to mention Zed.

  Coder Desktop
  - Add coder/coder-desktop-linux for the Linux client.

.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/1-suggest-resource.yaml:
  - Reorder the section dropdown to match the README's section order
    so triage and self-categorization stay consistent.
