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. -

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. Our Components should work on nearly every device with a monitor. User-centric approach with many members all around the world, which helps bring Materialize forward and improve usability for everyone on the web. You can be a part too. -

erd
Translates a plain text description of a relational database schema
erd is a Haskell-based command-line tool that transforms a plain-text description of a relational database schema into a graphical entity-relationship diagram using common ER conventions. This utility takes a plain text description of entities, their attributes and the relationships between entities and produces a visual diagram modeling the description. The visualization is produced by using Dot with GraphViz. There are limited options for specifying color and font information. Also, erd can output graphs in a variety of formats, including but not limited to: pdf, svg, eps, png, jpg, plain text and dot. In case one wishes to have a statically linked erd as a result, this is possible to have by executing build-static_by-nix.sh: which requires the nix package manager to be installed on the building machine. NixOS itself is not a requirement. -

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. -

HyDE Linux
Aesthetic, dynamic and minimal dots for Arch hyprland
HyDE Linux is an aesthetic, dynamic and minimal dots for Arch hyprland. The installation script is designed for a minimal Arch Linux install, but may work on some Arch-based distros. While installing HyDE alongside another DE/WM should work, due to it being a heavily customized setup, it will conflict with your GTK/Qt theming, Shell, SDDM, GRUB, etc., and is at your own risk. The install script will auto-detect an NVIDIA card and install nvidia-dkms drivers for your kernel.
