    Next.js Notion Starter Kit

    Next.js Notion Starter Kit

    Deploy your own Notion-powered website in minutes with Next.js

    Next.js Notion Starter Kit is a boilerplate / starter template to quickly build a website (blog, portfolio, documentation site) using Next.js and react-notion-x, while using a public Notion page as a CMS. It’s the same foundation the author uses to power their personal site. The idea is to let you write and manage content in Notion, and have that content rendered as a fully functional, statically-generated React/Next.js site, with minimal setup — usually just a configuration file to point to your root Notion page. The kit brings a lot of convenience: it handles page routing, pretty URLs, automatic generation of tables of contents, responsive design, dark mode, image previews, and even auto-generated social preview images. Because it uses Next.js’s static site generation (or optionally dynamic), it produces fast-loading pages optimized for performance and SEO.

    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.

    ServiceStack

    ServiceStack

    Simple, fast, versatile and full-featured services framework

    One framework to power them all. Write your HTTP APIs once and take advantage of end-to-end typed integrations for all popular web, mobile and desktop platforms. ServiceStack's primary goal is to enhance the value of System APIs which serve as the blueprint that most features centered around. By using simple & pure dependency-free DTO models decoupled from any implementation we're free to continue layering on features which now sees ServiceStack APIs as the most versatile in the world where the same high-performance APIs can be consumed from HTTP in any combination of Route, QueryString, FormData or a myriad of data formats, via popular resilient MQ Servers whilst simultaneously supporting legacy integrations like SOAP or adopting new technologies like gRPC without sacrificing any native HTTP integrations. To maximize the value of APIs we're focused beyond the API boundary by making it as simple as possible for API Consumers to call your APIs.

    iii

    iii

    Effortlessly compose, extend, and observe every service

    iii is a backend unification engine that organizes application behavior around a small set of primitives such as functions, triggers, and workers. It is designed to connect existing backend systems into a more inspectable and programmable runtime. The project includes a console for developers and operators to inspect functions, triggers, traces, and live state. Its goal is to reduce backend sprawl by giving teams a single operational layer for event-driven and function-based workflows. iii appears especially useful for teams that want clearer visibility into distributed backend behavior without replacing every existing component. Its main value is combining orchestration, observability, and operational control into a compact backend engine.
