PeerTube
Video streaming platform using P2P directly in your web browser
PeerTube, developed by Framasoft, is the free and decentralized alternative to video platforms, providing you over 400,000 videos published by 60,000 users and viewed over 15 million times. Our aim is not to replace them, but rather to simultaneously offer something else, with different values. PeerTube is not meant to become a huge platform that would centralize videos from all around the world. Rather, it is a network of inter-connected small videos hosters. Anyone with a modicum of technical skills can host a PeerTube server, aka an instance. Each instance hosts its users and their videos. In this way, every instance is created, moderated and maintained independently by various administrators. You can still watch from your account videos hosted by other instances though if the administrator of your instance had previously connected it with other instances. And there's more! PeerTube uses ActivityPub, a federating protocol that allows you to interact with other software. -
Total Network Visibility for Network Engineers and IT ManagersThis means every device on your network, and every interface on every device is automatically analyzed for performance, errors, QoS, and configuration.

A react-based starter app for using the Live API over websockets
Live API Web Console is a React starter that demonstrates how to use Gemini’s Live API over WebSockets to build real-time, multimodal experiences.

Configuration lives in a simple .env file and the project boots with standard web tooling, letting you experiment quickly with models, system prompts, and tool declarations. It ships with demo branches that show grounded search, function calling, and visualization—one example has the model calling a function that renders Vega/Altair graphs directly in the UI.

Stremio Core
Types, addon system, UI models, core logic
Stremio Core is the Rust engine that powers Stremio’s apps by centralizing all reusable logic behind discovery, catalogs, metadata, streams, add-ons, and user/library state. It exposes a clean set of modules—types, addon_transport, and state_types—so apps can talk to add-ons, model UI state, and react to events without duplicating code. The architecture is inspired by Elm: immutable state, message-driven updates, and explicit side-effects (“effects”) keep behavior predictable and testable. An environment abstraction lets hosts provide implementations for things like storage, networking, and timers, making the core portable to desktop, mobile, and web. The project targets WebAssembly as well, so the same Rust logic can run inside the browser via a small bridge layer. -
