Apktool
A tool for reverse engineering Android apk files
A tool for reverse engineering 3rd party, closed, binary Android apps. It can decode resources to nearly original form and rebuild them after making some modifications. It also makes working with an app easier because of the project like file structure and automation of some repetitive tasks like building apk, etc. It is NOT intended for piracy and other non-legal uses. It could be used for localizing, adding some features or support for custom platforms, analyzing applications and much more. The decode option on Apktool can be invoked either from d or decode. In order to run a rebuilt application. You must resign the application. Android documentation can help with this. As you probably know, Android apps utilize code and resources that are found on the Android OS itself. These are known as framework resources and Apktool relies on these to properly decode and build apks. -

Goose Swift
Goose Swift proof-of-concept README
Goose Swift is a local-first iOS companion project for WHOOP 5.0 devices. It is currently an alpha proof of concept intended for developers who can build the Swift app and Rust core themselves. The app connects to WHOOP 5.0 bands through Bluetooth and routes device data through a local Rust processing layer. It turns available signals into health, recovery, sleep, strain, stress, cardio, energy, coach, and debug views. The project includes a SwiftUI app, a Rust bridge, HealthKit support, a workout Live Activity extension, and internal documentation for its MVP pipeline. It is best understood as an experimental, independent wearable-data project rather than a finished consumer health tracker. -

V Programming Language
Simple, fast, safe, compiled language for developing software
Simple language for building maintainable programs. You can learn the entire language by going through the documentation over a weekend, and in most cases, there's only one way to do something. This results in simple, readable, and maintainable code. Despite being simple, V gives a lot of power to the developer and can be used in pretty much every field, including systems programming, webdev, gamedev, GUI, mobile, science, embedded, tooling, etc. V avoids doing unnecessary allocations in the first place by using value types, and string buffers, promoting a simple abstraction-free code style. Most objects (~90-100%) are freed by V's auto-free engine: the compiler inserts necessary free calls automatically during compilation. A remaining small percentage of objects is freed via GC. The developer doesn't need to change anything in their code. "It just works", like in Python, Go, or Java, except there's no heavy GC tracing everything or expensive RC for each object. -

SVG-Powered component to easily create skeleton loadings
Tool to easily create your animated skeleton-screen components, replacing usual loading and delivering better experiences for users, giving a wireframe of your pages like placeholders boxes for content and images. Supports React, React Native, Vue, and vanilla HTML. Using react-content-loader or a skeleton screen, you can show users that it’s almost done and something is happening. You can use any SVG shapes to create the loader elements. It’s easy to create an animated placeholder, which shines from left to right. It has a few pre-styled content loaders (e.g, Facebook, Instagram). Since SVG supports a lot of shapes, it can be used for any complex UI. You can simply design your loader based on the page and edit the size, background, and foreground. Also, you can add the radius to the border, add or remove shapes such as rectangle and circle, and select the speed of the animations. -

Anko
An Android application development library
Anko is a Kotlin library which makes Android application development faster and easier. It makes your code clean and easy to read, and lets you forget about rough edges of the Android SDK for Java. Anko was born as a type-safe DSL for building Android layouts. It not only allowed creating layouts in a type-safe way, but it made the layouts more adaptable, dynamic, reusable, and also performant, as there was no need for expensive layout inflation. Anko consists of several parts that make up the complete framework, which are: Anko Commons: a lightweight library full of helpers for intents, dialogs, logging and so on. Anko Layouts: a fast and type-safe way to write dynamic Android layouts. Anko SQLite: a query DSL and parser collection for Android SQLite. Anko Coroutines: utilities based on the kotlinx.coroutines library. -

Epoxy
Android library for building complex screens in a RecyclerView
Epoxy is an Android library for building complex screens in a RecyclerView. Models are automatically generated from custom views or databinding layouts via annotation processing. These models are then used in an EpoxyController to declare what items to show in the RecyclerView. This abstracts the boilerplate of view holders, diffing items and binding payload changes, item types, item ids, span counts, and more, in order to simplify building screens with multiple view types. Additionally, Epoxy adds support for saving view state and automatic diffing of item changes. We developed Epoxy at Airbnb to simplify the process of working with RecyclerViews, and to add the missing functionality we needed. We now use Epoxy for most of the main screens in our app and it has improved our developer experience greatly. If you are using layout resources in Epoxy annotations then for library projects add Butterknife's gradle plugin to your buildscript. -

Feathers
Framework for real-time applications and REST APIs with JavaScript
Feathers is a lightweight web-framework for creating real-time applications and REST APIs using JavaScript or TypeScript. Feathers can interact with any backend technology, supports over a dozen databases and works with any frontend technology like React, VueJS, Angular, React Native, Android or iOS. Build prototypes in minutes and production-ready apps in days. Using the latest language features, Feathers is a small library that provides the structure to create complex applications but is flexible enough to not be in the way. Feathers is a “batteries included but easily swappable framework” with a large ecosystem of plugins. Include exactly what you need. No more, no less. Feathers has adapters for 12+ databases out of the box. You can have multiple databases in a single app and swap them out painlessly due to a consistent query interface. Feathers can be used the same way on the server with Node.js and in the browser with frameworks like React, Angular, VueJS or on mobile with React. -

Reflex Platform
A curated package set and set of tools that let you build Haskell
Reflex Platform is a curated package set and set of tools that let you build Haskell packages so they can run on a variety of platforms. Reflex Platform is built on top of the nix package manager. The core packages in Reflex Platform are known to work together and are tested together. the core packages in Reflex Platform are cached so you can download prebuilt binaries from the public cache instead of building from scratch. Nix locks down dependencies even outside the Haskell ecosystem (e.g., versions of C libraries that the Haskell code depends on), so you get completely reproducible builds. Reflex Platform is designed to target iOS and Android on mobile, JavaScript on the web, and Linux and macOS on desktop. It's Haskell, everywhere. Reflex Platform comes packaged with tools to make development easier, like a hoogle server that you can run locally to look up definitions. -
