### Adding New Resources
Add the `category.json`(in resources/categories) file to add new resources:
```json

"subcategories": [
{
"id": "unique-id",
"name": "Subcategory Name",
"description": "Description of this subcategory",
"resources": [
{
"title": "Resource Title",
"url": "https://example.com",
"description": "Description of this resource"
}
]
}
]
}
]
}
```
After that, add your category to the list in the `categories-list.json`

Edit the `updates.json` file to add new updates:
```json
