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. 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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

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. -

Markdown
WeChat Markdown Editor
WeChat Markdown Editor | A highly concise WeChat Markdown editor, that supports Markdown syntax, color palette selection, multi-image upload, one-click document download, custom CSS style, one-click reset, and other features. Markdown documents are automatically rendered into WeChat graphics and text in real-time, so you no longer have to worry about the typesetting of WeChat articles! As long as you know the basic Markdown syntax, you can make a simple and beautiful WeChat graphic. Chrome browser is recommended for best results. In addition, for domestic (China) friends, accessing Gitee Pages will be relatively faster. The existing open-source WeChat Markdown editor has complicated styles and does not meet my personal aesthetic needs. When I use them for article typesetting, I often have to make some changes myself, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive, so I did secondary development. -
