Pesterchum-Discord
A Discord client mimicking the Pesterchum chat client from Homestuck
A Discord client mimicking the Pesterchum chat client from Homestuck, Uses a lot of code from my Pesterchum Client. A Discord client mimicking the Pesterchum chat client from Homestuck, for the few people who are still interested in that. If you have any questions either contact me the GitHub or add me at Henry#8808 on Discord. This app is not an all-in-one client! It is meant to enhance RP and anything else you wish to do with it, however, it is recommended you still use regular Discord for technical functions. The release download is distributed as a .zip file. Unzip the file and inside will be a file called pesterchum.exe If there is an update, updater.exe will launch in a console. It doesn't install anywhere, its fairly portable. It is not yet for OSX/Linux, contact me if anyone is interested in supporting it. -

Webogram
Telegram web application, GPL v3
Telegram offers great apps for mobile communication. It is based on the MTProto protocol and has an Open API. I personally like Telegram for its speed and cloud-support (that makes a web app possible, unlike in the case of WA and others). MTProto data can be carried over HTTP (SSL is also supported), so this project is my take at creating one. Hosted version: the app is downloaded via HTTPS as a usual website. Will be available offline due to application cache. Packed version, the app is downloaded at once in a package via HTTPS. The package is updated less frequently than the Web-version. The app is based on the AngularJS JavaScript framework, and written in pure JavaScript. jQuery is used for DOM manipulations, and Bootstrap as the CSS-framework. The project repository is based on angularjs-seed and includes gulp tasks, so it's easy to launch the app locally on your desktop. -
PRTG Catches Network Issues Before They Cause DowntimeReactive troubleshooting usually means hearing about a problem from frustrated users, not your monitoring tool. PRTG sets threshold-based alerts across devices, servers and applications, notifying your team by email, SMS or push the moment a metric crosses a set limit. That means catching a failing disk or overloaded server before it becomes an outage and getting time back from firefighting. Start a free trial and set your first alerts today.

Botkit
Tool for building chat bots, apps and custom integrations
An open source developer tool for building chat bots, apps and custom integrations for major messaging platforms. Part of the Microsoft Bot Framework. We love bots, and want to make them easy and fun to build! Include Botkit into your Node application and boot up a controller that will define your bot's behaviors. In this case, we're setting up a bot to use with the Bot Framework Emulator. Tell the bot to listen for users saying "hello," and use `bot.reply` to send an immediate response. Start a conversation, then queue up multiple messages to send, including a prompt sent using `convo.ask()` which allows your bot to capture user input and use it. Botkit is just one part of a bigger set of developer tools and SDKs that encompass the Microsoft Bot Framework. The Bot Framework SDK provides the base upon which Botkit is built. It is available in multiple programming languages! -

ChatterBot
Machine learning, conversational dialog engine for creating chat bots
ChatterBot is a Python library that makes it easy to generate automated responses to a user’s input. ChatterBot uses a selection of machine learning algorithms to produce different types of responses. This makes it easy for developers to create chat bots and automate conversations with users. For more details about the ideas and concepts behind ChatterBot see the process flow diagram. The language independent design of ChatterBot allows it to be trained to speak any language. Additionally, the machine-learning nature of ChatterBot allows an agent instance to improve it’s own knowledge of possible responses as it interacts with humans and other sources of informative data. An untrained instance of ChatterBot starts off with no knowledge of how to communicate. Each time a user enters a statement, the library saves the text that they entered and the text that the statement was in response to. As ChatterBot receives more input the number of responses that it can reply increase. -
