SkyWater PDK
Open source process design kit for usage with SkyWater Technology
The SkyWater PDK is the first broadly available open-source process design kit for a commercial-grade CMOS node, enabling researchers, startups, and students to design real ASICs without proprietary NDAs. It provides the essential artifacts for digital and analog flows: SPICE models, DRC/LVS rules, extraction decks, and technology files for open tools like Magic and KLayout. Standard-cell libraries and IO pads are included so digital designers can use open synthesis and place-and-route to reach a manufacturable GDS. Because the PDK is open, it becomes a common target for community reference designs, open tapeouts, and teaching curricula. Documentation and example flows show how to assemble complete toolchains, from RTL to sign-off, using open EDA components. The project effectively lowers the barrier to custom silicon, catalyzing an ecosystem around an accessible 130-nm process. -

GitHub Dark
Dark GitHub style
GitHub-Dark is a userstyle that transforms GitHub’s interface into a coherent dark theme, covering repositories, issues, pull requests, gists, and profile pages. Distributed as a CSS stylesheet intended for the Stylus browser extension, it applies a comprehensive palette, rebalances contrast, and refines syntax colors for code views to ensure readability in low-light settings. The project goes beyond simple inversion by thoughtfully adjusting backgrounds, borders, badges, and diff highlights so the UI feels native rather than “flipped.” It includes targeted fixes for edge cases across GitHub’s many subpages, aiming for consistency while preserving the information hierarchy of the original design. Users can apply the theme selectively, override variables, or combine it with other userstyles to fit personal preference. Even with GitHub’s own theme options, GitHub-Dark remains a carefully tuned alternative for people who want a specific aesthetic or more granular control. -

XLS
XLS: Accelerated HW Synthesis
XLS is an open-source toolkit for building high-level hardware with a modern compiler stack that spans from a functional DSL to optimized IR and hardware generation. At the front end, DSLX lets you describe algorithms with strong typing and familiar control flow while remaining synthesis-friendly. The compiler lowers DSLX into a rich intermediate representation, applies aggressive optimization and scheduling passes, and can either JIT the design for software simulation or emit Verilog for FPGA/ASIC flows. A key idea is “software-style” iteration: fast, deterministic simulation via the JIT encourages test-driven development and property checking before committing to RTL. XLS also provides tooling for pipelining, state insertion, and formal equivalence checks between different stages, giving developers confidence as designs evolve. The result is a productive path from high-level specification to real hardware, without giving up control over latency, throughput, and area trade-offs. -

Hugo PaperMod
A fast, clean, responsive Hugo theme
PaperMod is a fast, minimal-yet-featureful theme for the Hugo static site generator, aimed at blogs, documentation sites, and personal pages. It focuses on clean typography, responsive layouts, and sensible defaults, while exposing a large set of front-matter and config options. Built-in features include dark/light modes, archive and taxonomy views, reading-time indicators, breadcrumbs, and an optional profile/landing layout. Client-side search, code highlighting, social links, and comment integrations can be enabled with simple configuration, avoiding custom JavaScript for most needs. The theme ships with SEO-friendly meta tags, Open Graph/Twitter cards, and RSS feeds to improve discoverability. Because it’s engineered for speed—lean HTML, minimized assets, and Hugo’s native rendering—it delivers excellent performance scores out of the box. -

Figma Code Connect
A tool for connecting your design system components
Figma Code Connect is an open-source tool that enhances collaboration between designers and developers by synchronizing design components with source code in real time. Instead of treating design files and codebases as separate artifacts, it creates a continuous link so when a designer updates a UI element in Figma, developers see corresponding code changes or annotations immediately, making handoffs more precise and frictionless. The system supports multiple frameworks and languages, enabling teams to generate usable code snippets, style values, and component metadata from visual designs without manual translation. This approach reduces miscommunication and repetitive tasks that traditionally occur between design and engineering teams, speeding up iteration cycles while preserving fidelity to the original design intent. It can be integrated into development environments or build tooling so design updates automatically propagate into code patterns or UI specs. -

Gruvbox Material
Gruvbox with Material Palette
gruvbox-material is a modern, refined re-implementation of the popular gruvbox color palette designed for Vim and Neovim. It preserves gruvbox’s earthy tones and retro feel but adds cleaner contrasts, smoother gradients, and improved readability across terminals and GUIs. The theme includes multiple contrast levels—soft, medium, and hard—as well as light and dark variants to fit different lighting conditions. It supports true color, Treesitter highlighting, and plugin-specific integrations for a consistent UI. The color scheme aims to balance aesthetic warmth with functional legibility, making syntax stand out naturally without harsh saturation. With its thoughtful design, gruvbox-material has become a go-to for developers who want a cozy yet modern coding atmosphere. -

PYWAL
Generate and change color-schemes on the fly
PYWAL is a highly popular tool that automatically generates a color scheme from any image (usually your wallpaper) and then applies it across your Linux or Unix desktop. It analyzes the input image, extracts a palette, and builds theme files for terminals, window managers, and various desktop applications so everything looks coordinated. The magic is that it’s not just a one-off script: it supports many terminals, shells, and launchers, and can export the colors in multiple formats (JSON, Xresources, CSS) for other programs to consume. It also includes a set of predefined themes if you don’t want to generate from an image. Many users integrate PYWAL into their login or wallpaper-change workflows so the desktop “breathes” with whatever image they set. It’s lightweight, fast, and fits perfectly into the r/unixporn workflow of building cohesive, themed desktops. -

System Design
Learn how to design systems and prepare for system design interviews
This project is an open, course-style repository designed to help you learn system design from fundamentals through advanced, interview-ready thinking. It organizes core networking and distributed-systems concepts into a structured path, so you can build intuition before jumping into “design X” exercises. It covers the building blocks that show up in real architectures, such as DNS, load balancing, caching, CDNs, proxies, scalability and availability tradeoffs, and storage patterns, then connects those pieces to larger system goals. The materials are geared toward clarity and repeatability, making it useful both for self-study and for quick review before interviews. It emphasizes the why behind design decisions, not just a list of components, so you can explain tradeoffs under constraints like cost, latency, reliability, and growth. Overall, it functions like a practical playbook for learning how large systems are composed, where they fail, and how to reason about improvements. -
