WebP Codec
Library to encode and decode images in WebP format
libwebp is the reference codec library for Google’s WebP image format, providing both encoding and decoding along with command-line tools. It supplies cwebp to compress images into WebP and dwebp to decompress them back, making it easy to test quality/size trade-offs across presets and tuning parameters. The GitHub repository is a mirror; the canonical source of truth lives on Chromium’s git, and developer docs are hosted on WebP’s portal. The project underpins WebP support across browsers, imaging libraries, and many native apps thanks to its stable C API. Additional companion repos host test data and demos, including JavaScript builds and timing tests for various platforms. As a widely deployed codec, libwebp balances compression efficiency, speed, and integration simplicity across platforms. -

Hacks
A collection of hacks and one-off scripts
Hacks is a collection of experimental scripts, utilities, and one-off tools created to solve specific problems in security research, data processing, and automation. Rather than being a single cohesive application, it serves as a repository of practical command-line tools that can be used independently or combined into workflows. The scripts cover a wide range of tasks, including URL manipulation, parameter replacement, data extraction, and reconnaissance automation. Many of the tools in the repository are designed for efficiency and simplicity, enabling users to perform complex operations with minimal overhead. It is particularly popular among security researchers and developers who need quick, flexible solutions for niche problems. -

KnowNote
A local-first AI knowledge base & NotebookLM alternative
KnowNote is a local-first, open-source AI knowledge base and notebook application created as an Electron-based alternative to Google NotebookLM that emphasizes privacy, control, and simplicity. It lets users build an intelligent, searchable knowledge base from uploaded documents such as PDFs, Word files, PowerPoints, and web pages, and then interact with that content using LLM-powered chat, summarization, and reasoning tools. Unlike many NotebookLM alternatives that rely on Docker or cloud deployments, KnowNote runs natively on desktop platforms without complex setup, meaning all data stays local unless the user opts to integrate with self-managed or private LLM APIs. Its retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) system offers semantic search and traceable source references, and it supports multiple LLM providers through a flexible plugin-style provider architecture. -

Perfetto
Production-grade client-side tracing, profiling, and analysis
Perfetto is a production-grade tracing platform for Android, Linux, and Chrome that captures extremely detailed information about what a system is doing over time. It’s designed around a low-overhead producer/consumer model: instrumented components (“producers”) write binary events into shared memory buffers and a collector (“service”) reliably streams them to storage. The data model spans kernel and userspace, so you can stitch together CPU scheduling, app lifecycles, binder/IPC hops, GPU work, power and thermal signals, file I/O, heap samples, and more into a single coherent timeline. Perfetto’s ecosystem includes a web-based UI that can load multi-GB traces directly in the browser and an offline “trace processor” that exposes the trace as a queryable SQL-like table schema for deep analysis and automation. It integrates natively with Android (replacing older atrace/Systrace paths) and can sit alongside custom instrumentation in apps or services through its SDKs. -

Normalize.css
A modern alternative to CSS resets
normalize.css is a small CSS file that provides a consistent baseline of default styles across browsers without erasing useful browser opinions. Rather than a “hard reset” that zeroes everything, it preserves sensible defaults for elements while fixing inconsistencies and edge cases that vary between engines. The project documents why each rule exists, targeting real-world quirks such as form control alignment, typographic defaults, and HTML5 element rendering. It is deliberately minimal and stable, making it a safe foundation for both custom design systems and heavyweight frameworks. Because it normalizes only what’s necessary, it plays well with component libraries and avoids surprising overrides that can lead to fragile CSS. Teams adopt it to reduce cross-browser bugs, speed up layout work, and start with predictable typography, spacing, and element behavior. -

Arduino libraries
Arduino libraries and code
This repository contains several Arduino libraries I have written to be used in applications. Most of them include example code on how the libraries can be used. Furthermore, this repository contains a few stand-alone applications. For bugs in the libraries, please fill in an issue in Github as that makes it far easier to track them. If possible provide a minimal code snippet that exposes the bug. Add information about the platform used and version etc. Also, proposals for solutions are welcome. For improvements and changes, please provide a pull request. I will try to follow up on them asap but it can take quite some time. Please try to be generic in your improvements and try to see "over the needs of your own application". -

React
A JavaScript library for building user interfaces
React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. Design simple views for each state in your application, and React will efficiently update and render just the right components when your data changes. React lets you build user interfaces out of individual pieces called components. Create your own React components like Thumbnail, LikeButton, and Video. Then combine them into entire screens, pages, and apps. Whether you work on your own or with thousands of other developers, using React feels the same. It is designed to let you seamlessly combine components written by independent people, teams, and organizations. React components are JavaScript functions. Want to show some content conditionally? Use an if statement. Displaying a list? Try array map(). Learning React is learning programming. -

QR Code generator library
High-quality QR Code generator library in Java, TypeScript/JavaScript
This project aims to be the best, clearest library for generating QR Codes. My primary goals are flexible options and absolute correctness. The secondary goals are compact implementation size and good documentation comments. This work is an independent implementation based on reading the official ISO specification documents. I believe that my library has a more intuitive API and shorter code length than competing libraries out there. The library is designed first in Java and then ported to TypeScript, Python, Rust, C++, and C. It is open source under the MIT License. For each language, the codebase is roughly 1000 lines of code and has no dependencies other than the respective language’s standard library. -

AlphaZero.jl
A generic, simple and fast implementation of Deepmind's AlphaZero
Beyond its much publicized success in attaining superhuman level at games such as Chess and Go, DeepMind's AlphaZero algorithm illustrates a more general methodology of combining learning and search to explore large combinatorial spaces effectively. We believe that this methodology can have exciting applications in many different research areas. Because AlphaZero is resource-hungry, successful open-source implementations (such as Leela Zero) are written in low-level languages (such as C++) and optimized for highly distributed computing environments. This makes them hardly accessible for students, researchers and hackers. Many simple Python implementations can be found on Github, but none of them is able to beat a reasonable baseline on games such as Othello or Connect Four. As an illustration, the benchmark in the README of the most popular of them only features a random baseline, along with a greedy baseline that does not appear to be significantly stronger. -

KaTeX
Fast math typesetting for the web.
KaTeX is a fast, easy-to-use JavaScript library for TeX math rendering on the web. Fast: KaTeX renders its math synchronously and doesn't need to reflow the page. See how it compares to a competitor in this speed test. Print quality: KaTeX's layout is based on Donald Knuth's TeX, the gold standard for math typesetting. Self contained: KaTeX has no dependencies and can easily be bundled with your website resources. Server side rendering: KaTeX produces the same output regardless of browser or environment, so you can pre-render expressions using Node.js and send them as plain HTML. KaTeX is compatible with all major browsers, including Chrome, Safari, Firefox, Opera, Edge, and IE 11. -
