WhiteSur GTK Theme
MacOS like theme for all gtk based desktops
WhiteSur-gtk-theme brings a macOS Big Sur–inspired look to Linux desktops by providing a polished GTK theme with light and dark variants, rounded shapes, and refined translucency. It includes assets and installer scripts to apply the theme across GTK applications and desktop shells that support GTK theming, aiming for a cohesive, high-contrast interface. The project pays attention to details like window controls, titlebars, selection states, and widget hover effects so apps feel consistent from toolkits to system settings. Configuration options typically allow tweaking accents and choosing variants that match different desktop environments and icon sets. Documentation guides users through installing prerequisites, applying the theme, and resolving common edge cases across distributions. For Linux users who prefer Apple’s visual style but want open platforms, WhiteSur offers a maintained, community-driven path to a modern, visually unified desktop. -

Materialize
Materialize, a web framework based on Material Design
Materialize, a CSS Framework based on Material Design. Using VanillaJS and as less dependencies as possible to keep it fast and simple. We use TypeScript since it builds upon JavaScript and enhances the type- and code safety. You don't have to learn or integrate any new or crappy stuff. The goal here is to stick to the roots. Just copy and paste from the documentation and you are good to go. Most of the Features work event without JavaScript. Components should be useable by mobile devices and easily accessible by keyboard too. Try it out. User-centric approach with established design principles mainly from Google's Material guidelines.

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. -

react-resizable-panels
React components for resizable panel groups/layouts
react-resizable-panels provides accessible, flexible split-view layouts for React without wrestling low-level pointer math yourself. It models layouts as “groups” of panels separated by resize handles, supporting horizontal or vertical orientation and mixed min/max constraints that prevent panels from collapsing unexpectedly. The library focuses on smooth interactions: dragging, double-clicking to reset, and keyboard resizing for users who rely on accessibility features. It also supports snapping, collapsed states, and layout persistence so your app can remember user preferences between sessions. Because the API is component-based, you can nest groups, render custom panel contents, and style handles to match your design system. Under the hood, it keeps measurement logic reliable across reflows and React 18 rendering patterns, making it suitable for IDE-like UIs, data dashboards, and inspector panes. -

Installation scripts provided in the repository automate applying themes to a system’s GRUB configuration, including options for different resolutions and screen sizes, and users can add custom backgrounds or tweak configurations. The repository is licensed under GPL-3.0 and has an active user base, making it one of the more popular sources for bootloader theming. It includes assets, configurations, and helper tools to simplify adoption, and supports variant customization so users can tailor the look to their preferences. -

GitFut
Your GitHub stats, turned into a World-Cup-style player card
GitFut is a playful web app that turns a GitHub profile into a World-Cup-style football player card. It scores a user out of 99 by reading live GitHub profile signals instead of asking for self-reported data. The project maps GitHub activity into football-style stats such as pace, shooting, passing, dribbling, defending, and physicality. It also assigns an overall rating, position, archetype, country flag, and card finish based on the shape and strength of the profile data. The generated card can be embedded as a live image in a README, portfolio, or personal website. Built with Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, and Redis, it is both a fun developer identity tool and an example of social GitHub visualization. -

Impeccable
The design language that makes your AI harness better at design
Impeccable is a design skill system that helps AI coding tools produce better frontend interfaces by giving them a richer design vocabulary. It provides one comprehensive skill, multiple commands, and curated reference files covering typography, color, motion, spacing, interaction, responsive design, and UX writing. The project is built to counter common AI-generated design habits such as generic SaaS layouts, overused fonts, nested cards, weak hierarchy, and predictable gradients. It can be installed across several AI coding environments, including Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot, and others. Impeccable also includes deterministic anti-pattern detection through a CLI and browser extension without requiring an API key. It is most useful for developers and designers who want AI-generated interfaces to feel more polished, intentional, and product-aware. -

Draper
Decorators/view-models for Rails applications
Draper adds an object-oriented layer of presentation logic to your Rails application. Without Draper, this functionality might have been tangled up in procedural helpers or adding bulk to your models. With Draper decorators, you can wrap your models with presentation-related logic to organize and test this layer of your app much more effectively. Imagine your application has an Article model. With Draper, you'd create a corresponding ArticleDecorator. The decorator wraps the model, and deals only with presentational concerns. In the controller, you decorate the article before handing it off to the view. In the view, you can use the decorator in exactly the same way as you would have used the model. But whenever you start needing logic in the view or start thinking about a helper method, you can implement a method on the decorator instead.
