libjpeg-turbo
SIMD-accelerated libjpeg-compatible JPEG codec library
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, ARM, and PowerPC systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface. -

FreeRDP
FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients
FreeRDP is a free implementation of the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP), released under the Apache license. Enjoy the freedom of using your software wherever you want, the way you want it, in a world where interoperability can finally liberate your computing experience. The nightly builds are installed into /opt/freerdp-nightly and can be installed in parallel with the distributions regular freerdp package. Network tracing of RDP can be quite a challenge due to a number of factors such as encryption, compression, and the fact that these protocol features cannot always be disabled or worked around. One of the easiest way of decrypting RDP traffic is to configure the server with a self-signed certificate for which the private key is known, and then use this certificate with a network tracing tool to automatically decrypt the packets. -

YunX
An Android network disk analysis and download app
YunX is an Android app for parsing shared cloud-drive links, browsing their contents, and downloading files directly. It recognizes links from services including Quark, UC, Xunlei, Baidu Netdisk, 139 Cloud, and 123 Cloud, and can automatically match extraction codes. Downloads use concurrent ranged chunks with resume support, persistent request headers, and a fixed chunk plan. The app can clean up temporary transferred files after obtaining direct links or after download tasks are removed. Authentication methods vary by provider and include WebView cookies, password or SMS login, and JWT-based sessions. Credentials and download tasks are stored locally, with exported authentication backups protected through password-derived AES-GCM encryption. -

Refit
The automatic type-safe REST library for .NET Core, Xamarin and .NET.
Refit is a library heavily inspired by Square’s Retrofit library, and it turns your REST API into a live interface. Refit currently supports the following platforms and any .NET Standard 2.0 target. Every method must have an HTTP attribute that provides the request method and relative URL. There are six built-in annotations: Get, Post, Put, Delete, Patch and Head. The relative URL of the resource is specified in the annotation. A request URL can be updated dynamically using replacement blocks and parameters on the method. A replacement block is an alphanumeric string surrounded by { and }. Parameters that are not specified as a URL substitution will automatically be used as query parameters. This is different than Retrofit, where all parameters must be explicitly specified. Round-tripping route parameter syntax: Forward slashes aren't encoded when using a double-asterisk (**) catch-all parameter syntax. -

Point Cloud Library
A standalone, large scale, open project for 2D/3D image processing
The Point Cloud Library (PCL) is a standalone, large scale, open project for 2D/3D image and point cloud processing. PCL is released under the terms of the BSD license, and thus free for commercial and research use. Whether you’ve just discovered PCL or you’re a long time veteran, this page contains links to a set of resources that will help consolidate your knowledge on PCL and 3D processing. An additional Wiki resource for developers is available too. To simplify both usage and development, we split PCL into a series of modular libraries. PCL is cross-platform, and has been successfully compiled and deployed on Linux, MacOS, Windows, and Android. To simplify development, PCL is split into a series of smaller code libraries, that can be compiled separately. This modularity is important for distributing PCL on platforms with reduced computational or size constraints. -

hosts
Consolidate and extend hosts files from several well-curated sources
Consolidating and extending hosts files from several well-curated sources. You can optionally pick extensions to block pornography, social media, and other categories. The unified hosts file is optionally extensible. Extensions are used to include domains by category. Currently, we offer the following categories: fakenews, social, gambling, and porn. Extensions are optional, and can be combined in various ways with the base hosts file. The combined products are stored in the alternates folder. Data for extensions are stored in the extensions folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find the data for fakenews, social, gambling, and porn extension data that we maintain and provide for you. Create an optional blacklist file. The contents of this file (containing a listing of additional domains in hosts file format) are appended to the unified hosts file during the update process. A sample blacklist is included, and may be modified as you need. -

ESP32 BLE Keyboard library
Bluetooth LE Keyboard library for the ESP32
This library allows you to make the ESP32 act as a Bluetooth Keyboard and control what it does. Compatible with Android. Compatible with Windows. Compatible with Linux. Compatible with MacOS X (not stable, some people have issues, doesn't work with old devices). Compatible with iOS (not stable, some people have issues, doesn't work with old devices). There is also Bluetooth-specific information that you can set (optional): Instead of BleKeyboard bleKeyboard; you can do BleKeyboard bleKeyboard("Bluetooth Device Name", "Bluetooth Device Manufacturer", 100);. (Max length is 15 characters, anything beyond that will be truncated.) By default the battery level will be set to 100%, the device name will be ESP32 Bluetooth Keyboard and the manufacturer will be Espressif. This feature is meant to compensate for some applications and devices that can't handle fast input and will skip letters if too many keys are sent in a small time frame. -

Image Picker Library for Android
Image Picker for Android, Pick an image from Gallery
Easy to use and configurable library to Pick an image from the Gallery or Capture an image using a Camera. It also allows to Crop and Compress the Image based on Aspect Ratio, Resolution, and Image Size. Almost 90% of the apps that I have developed have an Image upload feature. Along with the image selection, Sometimes I needed a crop feature for my profile image for that I've used uCrop. Most of the time I need to compress the image as the image captured from the camera is more than 5-10 MBs and sometimes we have a requirement to upload images with specific resolution/size, in that case, image compression is the way to go option. To simplify the image pick/capture option I have created the ImagePicker library. I hope it will be useful to all.
