json.lua
A lightweight JSON library for Lua
json.lua is a lightweight JSON library for Lua that provides straightforward encoding and decoding without requiring a large external package. It is designed to be dropped into an existing project as a single Lua file, then required directly from application code. The library exposes a simple API for turning Lua values into JSON strings and parsing JSON strings back into Lua values. Its small size makes it practical for games, plugins, scripts, embedded Lua environments, and projects where dependency weight matters. It is implemented in pure Lua and is known for being fast among pure Lua JSON options while still offering useful error messages. Overall, it is a convenient choice when a Lua project needs dependable JSON support with minimal setup. -

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. -

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. -

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. -
