HARPOON 2
Getting you where you want with the fewest keystrokes
HARPOON 2 is a highly popular Neovim plugin created by ThePrimeagen that enhances editor navigation by letting users mark and quickly jump to frequently used files and terminals within their Neovim workflow. Unlike traditional global marks in Vim, Harpoon’s marks are per-project and automatically updated, meaning they follow files even as content changes, which streamlines switching between contextually relevant files during development. It comes with an intuitive menu system that lists marked files and offers commands to add, remove, or navigate to those files with minimal keystrokes. In addition to file marks, Harpoon also supports storing terminal commands and sending them to persistent terminals, allowing workflows that blend code editing with compilation, testing, or server control all from within Neovim. -

Knit
Lightweight game framework for Roblox
Lightweight game framework for Roblox. A lightweight framework that simplifies communication between core parts of your Roblox experience and seamlessly bridges the gap between the server and the client. Services and controllers are the core of Knit. These objects provide a foundation for Roblox experiences. By orienting core game logic around services and controllers, developers will inherit cleaner organization across codebases and easier maintainability. Services and controllers are easy to create, and provide a built-in networking layer. Knit automatically provides networking between the client and services. Since Knit handles the networking infrastructure, developers are not left with the burden of manually creating RemoteEvent and RemoteFunction objects throughout the hierarchy. Each service has the ability to expose specific endpoints to the client through declarative code. -

fast-neural-style
Feedforward style transfer
The fast-neural-style project is an implementation of neural style transfer techniques optimized for real-time image processing. It uses convolutional neural networks to apply artistic styles to images, enabling users to transform photos into stylized outputs inspired by famous artworks. Unlike earlier approaches that required expensive optimization per image, this project leverages feed-forward networks to achieve fast inference, making style transfer practical for real-world applications. The repository includes training scripts, pre-trained models, and examples demonstrating how to apply styles efficiently. It also provides insights into the underlying techniques used in neural style transfer, making it both a practical tool and a learning resource. By combining performance and quality, it enables creative applications in image processing and design. Overall, fast-neural-style showcases how deep learning can be used for real-time artistic transformations. -

AstroNvim Community Repository
A community repository of common plugin specifications
AstroNvim's community repository contains plugin configuration specifications — a collection of plugins contributed by the community for AstroNvim, a NeoVim configuration. These specifications help manage the variety of plugins used in AstroNvim. To integrate the community plugins, add the provided configurations to your plugins setup preferably before you import your own plugins to guarantee all AstroCommunity changes are loaded before your own overrides. If you are using the AstroNvim Template This can be done in your lua/community.lua file. -

CDN Up and Running
CDN Up and Running - Building a CDN from Scratch to Learn about CDN
CDN Up and Running is an educational project that demonstrates how content delivery networks work by guiding users through building one from scratch using real-world tools and infrastructure components. The repository combines theoretical explanations with hands-on implementation, allowing developers to understand both the concepts and practical challenges of CDN design. It starts with a simple backend service and progressively evolves into a distributed, multi-node system capable of handling caching, routing, and traffic distribution. The project uses technologies such as Nginx, Lua, Docker, Prometheus, and Grafana to simulate realistic CDN environments and monitoring systems. It also explores performance considerations, including latency simulation, load balancing, and scalability. By integrating observability tools, it enables users to analyze system behavior and performance metrics. -

HexMUD
A generic C++ MUD server featuring a strategy-style hexagon map
Sourceforge is no longer being updated! While not specifically a MUD project, this project's basic concept has merged into another that can be found here: https://github.com/nicrohobak/Toolbox Along with an additional, related project of extreme interest: https://github.com/nicrohobak/AnsiGL ------------------------------------------------------------ HexMUD aims to be a fully-featured, game-system agnostic MUD server with a centrally focused feature of an added top-down hexagon-based map (dynamically generated and drawn in ANSI/ASCII art) giving a basic visual representation of your immediate surroundings in addition to traditional descriptions. Many (most?) MUD servers hard-code a specific game system, or a specific game setting within their code, but HexMUD strives to be as generic as possible in this area, allowing each separate administrator to easily build a custom code base while also gaining access to all of the core features HexMUD provides. -

LuaLinq
Lightweight Linq-like library for Lua
Lightweight Linq-like library for Lua. For the latest version of this project, refer to http://code.google.com/p/lualinq/ Sorry for that. The syntax is very similar to LINQ and reminds of SQL, for those who already know those languages. It’s released with a BSD 3 clause license. It uses a very basic subset of Lua, which allows it to be used also in very restrictive embedding scenarios (e.g. videogames). The focus on data instead of processing makes it suitable for all those scripts where querying the hosting application entities is paramount: RPG videogames, Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.
