Google Photos Takeout Helper
Script that organizes the Google Takeout archive
If you ever want to move from Google Photos to another platform/solution, your fastest choice to export all photos is Google Takeout.

What if you want to just have one folder with all photos, in chronological order? Good luck copying all of that. -

TinyTeX releases
Windows/macOS/Linux binaries and installation methods of TinyTeX
A lightweight, cross-platform, portable, and easy-to-maintain LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live. TinyTeX is a custom LaTeX distribution based on TeX Live that is small in size but functions well in most cases, especially for R users. If you run into the problem of missing LaTeX packages, it should be super clear to you what you need to do (in fact, R users won’t need to do anything). You only install LaTeX packages you actually need. Currently, TinyTeX works best for R users. Other users can use it, too, it is just that missing LaTeX packages won’t be automatically installed, and you need to install them manually. Or you can go to the extreme to install all packages (see FAQ 3 for how), but remember there are thousands of them. Installing or running TinyTeX does not require admin privileges, which means you no longer need sudo or your IT. You can even run TinyTeX from a Flash drive. -

geckodriver
WebDriver for Firefox
geckodriver is an implementation of WebDriver, and WebDriver can be used for widely different purposes. How you invoke geckodriver largely depends on your use case. If you are using geckodriver through Selenium, you must ensure that you have version 3.11 or greater. Because geckodriver implements the W3C WebDriver standard and not the same Selenium wire protocol older drivers are using, you may experience incompatibilities and migration problems when making the switch from FirefoxDriver to geckodriver. Generally speaking, Selenium 3 enabled geckodriver as the default WebDriver implementation for Firefox. With the release of Firefox 47, FirefoxDriver had to be discontinued for its lack of support for the new multi-processing architecture in Gecko. Since geckodriver is a separate HTTP server that is a complete remote end implementation of WebDriver, it is possible to avoid using the Selenium remote server if you have no requirements to distribute processes across a matrix of systems. -

Pandoc
The universal markup converter
Pandoc is a universal document converter able to convert files from a multitude of markup formats into another. With Pandoc, you have a swiss-army knife of a converter, able to convert practically any markup format into any other. Pandoc contains a Haskell library for conversions as well as a command-line tool that uses this library. It can convert to and from just about anything-- lightweight markup formats, HTML formats, documentation formats, ebooks, TeX formats, word processor formats and so much more. It understands several useful markdown syntax extensions, such as document metadata, footnotes, tables, and more. If you want strict markdown compatibility however, these extensions can be turned off. Pandoc is no doubt powerful and customizable, but it is important to note that its intermediate representation of a document is less expressive than many of the formats, so it may not produce perfect conversions every time. -

BentoPDF
A Privacy First PDF Toolkit
BentoPDF is a self-hosted, open-source PDF toolkit that provides a suite of local PDF manipulation features for users who want full control over their documents without relying on cloud PDF services. It offers functionality to merge, split, compress, rotate, and convert PDFs through an easy-to-deploy container or local installation, making it ideal for individuals and teams that handle large volumes of PDF files regularly. Because it runs entirely on your own system or server, BentoPDF helps ensure that sensitive documents never leave your environment — a critical consideration for privacy-conscious users or organizations with strict data policies. Its design aims to balance robust feature coverage with a simple setup process, typically involving a Docker image so you can start using the toolkit with minimal configuration. BentoPDF also supports automation via command line parameters or API calls, so it can be integrated into batch workflows or document pipelines. -

GenOffice
An AI-native office suite for macOS and Windows
GenOffice is an AI-native desktop office suite for macOS and Windows built as five Electron applications sharing a common engine layer. It provides dedicated editors for Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, PowerPoint presentations, and PDFs, plus a shell that hosts the suite. AI editing is integrated directly into document state instead of being limited to a separate chatbot. Documents support block-level edits and diffs, while sheets, slides, and PDFs expose their state to a tool-calling agent. The suite uses specialized engines for DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, and PDF parsing, rendering, editing, and export. Its round-trip design applies narrow patches so untouched portions of original files remain intact. Shared packages provide agent logic, model streaming, search, internationalization, project storage, and interface components. -
