    Tabulator

    Tabulator

    Interactive tables and data grids for JavaScript

    Tabulator allows you to create interactive tables in seconds from any HTML Table, Javascript Array or JSON formatted data. Simply include the library and the css in your project and you're away! Tabulator has an enormous number of features to help customize your table experience to your needs. With new features released every month, there is bound to be something to get your interactive table juices flowing. Tabulator is built to work with all the major front-end JavaScript frameworks including React, Angular and Vue. Header filters and programmatic filters can be set independently allowing you to use a header filter to further restrict the rows shown in an already filtered data set. If an input element is used as the filter element, the table will be filtered in real-time as the user types in the input element. To prevent excessive redrawing of the table Tabulator will wait 300 milliseconds after the user has finished typing before triggering the filter.

    Nomulus

    Nomulus

    Top-level domain name registry service on Google Cloud Platform

    Nomulus is a production-grade, open-source domain registry platform used to operate top-level domains (TLDs). It implements the core registry protocols—EPP for registrar interactions, WHOIS/RDAP for public data access—and manages the lifecycle of domain objects, hosts, and contacts. The system is built to scale and to enforce policy: pricing rules, reserved names, premium tiers, grace periods, and automated renewals are modeled explicitly. It integrates with DNS provisioning, data escrow, and billing so you can run a compliant registry end-to-end rather than stitching together separate services. Operators get admin tools for reporting, manual adjustments, and policy configuration, while registrars interact through standards-compliant channels. Nomulus treats registries as serious infrastructure: audited flows, durable storage, and clear extension points for custom policies and TLD-specific behavior.

    Upvote RSS

    Upvote RSS

    Generate rich RSS feeds from Reddit, Hacker News, Lemmy, Mbin

    Upvote RSS is a flexible, open-source tool for generating customizable RSS feeds from discussion platforms such as Reddit, Hacker News, Lemmy, Lobste.rs, PieFed instances, and GitHub activity. It works as a web application (often deployed with PHP or via Docker) that lets users build feeds with rich options — including summaries, scores, comments, and filtering — to tailor what content flows into their feed reader. Upvote-RSS gives fine control over how posts are selected and presented, and supports environment configuration for features like caching or integration with external APIs to enrich the output. Users can preview generated feeds before copying the RSS URL for consumption in any RSS reader, and advanced options allow filtering by posts per day, inclusion of full content, summaries, and comment limits.

    WorkerVless2sub

    WorkerVless2sub

    Automate batch replacement to generate subscription generators

    WorkerVless2sub is a dedicated subscription generator focused on providing “preferred line” subscriptions by processing VMess, VLESS, Trojan nodes, filtering and replacing automatically via a Cloudflare Worker script. The idea is you supply node lists (or use existing APIs/CSV sources) and the worker filters them by criteria like speed or reliability and then emits a subscription link for end-users. It supports deployment on Cloudflare Pages or Workers, offers configuration via variables like HOST, UUID, PATH, ADD, ADDAPI etc., and has an Apache-2.0 license. The tool supports both IPv4 and IPv6 node sources, speed test CSV inputs, and logic to drop nodes that don’t meet the threshold (DLS variable). It has a sizeable star count and forks indicating broader adoption in self-hosted proxy subscription communities. The README also explicitly warns about hosting personal private nodes in the script if intending public use.

    Java JWT

    Java JWT

    Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT)

    A Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT) - RFC 7519. This library requires Java 8 or higher. The last version that supported Java 7 was 3.11.0. The library implements JWT Verification and Signing using several algorithms. The Algorithm defines how a token is signed and verified. It can be instantiated with the raw value of the secret in the case of HMAC algorithms, or the key pairs or KeyProvider in the case of RSA and ECDSA algorithms. Once created, the instance is reusable for token signing and verification operations. When using RSA or ECDSA algorithms and you just need to sign JWTs you can avoid specifying a Public Key by passing a null value. The same can be done with the Private Key when you just need to verify JWTs.

Bedrock is a modern WordPress stack that helps you get started with the best development tools and project structure. Much of the philosophy behind Bedrock is inspired by the Twelve-Factor App methodology including the WordPress specific version. Bedrock is multisite network compatible, but needs the roots/multisite-url-fixer mu-plugin on subdomain installs to make sure admin URLs function properly. This plugin is not needed on subdirectory installs but will work well with them. Composer is used to manage dependencies. Bedrock considers any 3rd party library as a dependency including WordPress itself and any plugins.

    Apache Thrift

    Apache Thrift

    Language-independent stack for point-to-point RPC implementation

    Apache Thrift is a software framework for scalable cross-language services development. Apache Thrift allows you to define data types and service interfaces in a simple definition file. Taking that file as input, the compiler generates code to be used to easily build RPC clients and servers that communicate seamlessly across programming languages. Thrift is a lightweight, language-independent software stack for point-to-point RPC implementation. Thrift provides clean abstractions and implementations for data transport, data serialization, and application level processing. Thrift is specifically designed to support non-atomic version changes across client and server code. This allows you to upgrade your server while still being able to service older clients; or have newer clients issue requests to older servers. For more details on Thrift's design and implementation, see the Thrift whitepaper included in this distribution, or at the README.md file.

    General purpose PHP SOAP-client

    General purpose PHP SOAP-client

    A general purpose SOAP client for PHP

    Sick and tired of building crappy SOAP implementations? This package aims to help you with some common SOAP integration pains in PHP. Its goal is to make integrating with SOAP fun again! Since life is too short to read documentation, we've added a scafolding wizard which will get you communicating with your SOAP server in no time! Implementing SOAP extensions is a real pain in the ass. It forces you to overwrite core methods of the built-in SOAP client. If you ever had to implement WSA or WSSE in SOAP, you know that there is something wrong in the core. Therefore, we made it easy for you to extend our SOAP client. You can specify which data transfer handler like e.g. Guzzle you want to use. Depending on the selected handler, you can easily add support for SOAP extensions or advanced authentication through HTTP middlewares.
