    wxPHP

    wxPHP

    PHP bindings for the cross-platform GUI library wxWidgets.

    wxPHP is a php binding/wrapper for the cross-platform library wxWidgets, which gives you the ability to develop desktop applications using the php programming language. This applications can be executed on windows, linux and macosx using the same code base with a native look and feel. One of the ideas is that you can use your php web applications code base and logic to create native desktop applications that communicate to them transparently. This way you can give your users a seamless and native experience from the desktop while staying in sync with your web apps. There are many more use cases, but we invite you to download and try this project by your self. We hope everyone can enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed developing it.

    Skynet

    Skynet

    A lightweight online game framework

    Skynet is a lightweight online game framework which can be used in many other fields. Skynet is a lightweight framework designed for online game servers. Although from the feedback of the Community , it's not limited as a game server framework. On the Uses page, it shows a few projects that have used or currently using Skynet, but there are way more projects than listed. And welcome to be the next user. For Linux, install autoconf first for jemalloc. For FreeBSD , use gmake instead of make. Skynet now uses a modified version of lua 5.4.2 for multiple lua states. Official Lua versions can also be used as long as the Makefile is edited. With Socket API and SocketChannel , which makes it easier to implement socket pool and reconnect, you can use Skynet to call socket even asynchronously. Skynet doesn't force a specific protocol, you can come up with your own design.

    TrustKit

    TrustKit

    Easy SSL pinning validation and reporting for iOS, macOS, tvOS

    TrustKit is an open-source framework that makes it easy to deploy SSL public key pinning and reporting in any iOS 12+, macOS 10.13+, tvOS 12+ or watchOS 4+ App; it supports both Swift and Objective-C Apps. Simple API to configure an SSL pinning policy and enforce it within an App. The policy settings are heavily based on the HTTP Public Key Pinning specification. Sane implementation by pinning the certificate's Subject Public Key Info, as opposed to the certificate itself or the public key bits. Reporting mechanism to notify a server about pinning validation failures happening within the App, when an unexpected certificate chain is detected. This is similar to the report-uri directive described in the HPKP specification. The reporting mechanism can also be customized within the App by leveraging pin validation notifications sent by TrustKit.

    Vis

    Vis

    A vi-like editor based on Plan 9's structural regular expressions

    Vis aims to be a modern, legacy-free, simple yet efficient editor, combining the strengths of both vi(m) and sam. It extends vi's modal editing with built-in support for multiple cursors/selections and combines it with sam's structural regular expression-based command language. A universal editor, it has decent Unicode support and should cope with arbitrary files, including large, binary, or single-line ones. Efficient syntax highlighting is provided using Parsing Expression Grammars, which can be conveniently expressed using Lua in the form of LPG. The editor core is written in a reasonable amount of clean (your mileage may vary), modern and legacy-free C code, enabling it to run in resource-constrained environments. The implementation should be easy to hack on and encourage experimentation. There is also a Lua API for in-process extensions. Vis strives to be simple and focuses on its core task: efficient text management.
