AutoResearchClaw
Autonomous research from idea to paper. Chat an Idea. Get a Paper 🦞
AutoResearchClaw is an open-source framework designed to automatically generate full academic research papers from a single idea or topic. Built in Python, it orchestrates a multi-stage research pipeline that gathers literature, formulates hypotheses, runs experiments, analyzes results, and writes the final paper. The system retrieves real academic references from sources such as arXiv and Semantic Scholar to ensure credible citations. It can automatically generate code for experiments, run them in a sandbox environment, and analyze the results with statistical methods. The platform also uses multi-agent debate and automated peer review processes to refine research findings and improve paper quality. By combining literature discovery, experimentation, and writing automation, AutoResearchClaw aims to turn research ideas into conference-ready papers with minimal human intervention. -

Device Activity Tracker
A phone number can reveal whether a device is active
Device Activity Tracker is a platform created to monitor and log the activity of digital devices across networks, giving users visibility into usage patterns, connection events, app launches, and interaction timelines that can be applied for security monitoring, parental oversight, productivity tracking, or device lifecycle analytics. It integrates with devices via sensors or APIs, continually capturing activity metrics and reporting them to a centralized dashboard that visualizes patterns over time, highlights anomalies, and correlates events across systems or users. Because it is designed with privacy and transparency in mind, the tracker offers configurable retention policies and granular consent controls, ensuring administrators can tailor what gets logged and how long data is stored. -

AI Researcher
An autonomous AI researcher
AI Researcher is an experimental open-source project that demonstrates how multiple AI agents can collaborate to conduct complex research tasks from start to finish with minimal human intervention. It orchestrates agents that can generate research questions, perform literature reviews, execute experiments, analyze results, and synthesize findings into structured outputs like reports or code. Each agent operates with clear roles — such as researcher, analyst, and summarizer — and they communicate through a task-management interface that ensures progress tracking and iterative refinement. The system emphasizes modularity, so teams can swap in new reasoning modules, data retrieval strategies, or domain knowledge bases depending on the research topic. Through self-supervised feedback loops, agents adjust their strategies based on prior outcomes, improving both the quality and relevance of results over time. -

Containerization (Apple)
Containerization is a Swift package for running Linux containers
This repository provides educational material and sample code that demystify how containerization works and how container components fit together in practice. It walks through the responsibilities of an image format, registry, and runtime, and shows how a minimal runtime can assemble an isolated process with the right filesystem view, environment, and entrypoint. The samples highlight security hardening considerations—such as process isolation, filesystem scoping, and least-privilege execution—so that containers are not just portable, but safer by default. Developers get a blueprint for taking standard container images and running them in a way that respects platform conventions, tooling, and policies. The emphasis is on clarity and standards alignment rather than building a production-grade engine, which makes the code ideal for learning and experimentation. -

ThingPulse ESP8266 Weather Station
ESP8266 Weather Station library supporting OpenWeatherMap
This code works best with the NodeMCU V2 ESP8266 module and an 0.96" OLED display. To get you up and running in no time we created a kit that contains all the necessary parts. By buying this and other kits from us you are funding the maintenance and development of this library. Make sure you use a version of the Arduino IDE which is supported by the ESP8266 platform. If you are using the PlatformIO environment for building, choose one of the available IDE integration or the Atom-based IDE, install libraries 561, 562, and 563 with "platformio lib install", adapt the WeatherStationDemo.ino file to your needs. The simple class uses the header date and time to set the clock. NTP-based time class written by Fabrice Weinberg. We fixed many bugs and improved performance and changed the API a little bit. Either compare your code to the updated WeatherStationDemo or read through the upgrade guide. -

Docear
An Academic Literature Suite
Docear (pronounced dog-ear) is what we call an “academic literature suite”. It integrates everything you need to search, organize and create academic literature in a single application: a digital library, reference manager, PDF and file manager, note taking and mind mapping. And the best: Docear works seemlessly with many existing tools like Mendeley, Microsoft Word, and Foxit Reader. Docear is free and open source, based on Freeplane, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Technology and developed by scientists from around the world, among others from OvGU, and the University of California, Berkeley. -

Hypernomicon
Hypertext-infused philosophy personal database software
Hypernomicon is a personal productivity/database application for researchers that combines structured note-taking, mind-mapping, management of files (e.g., PDFs) and folders, and reference management into an integrated environment that organizes all of the above into semantic networks or hierarchies in terms of debates, positions, arguments, labels, terminology/concepts, and user-defined keywords by means of database relations and automatically generated hyperlinks (hence ‘Hyper’ in the name). Hypernomicon keeps track of all these things in a highly structured, thoroughly indexed and user friendly relational database, automatically generates semantic hyperlinks between all of them, and presents this information in many different forms so that you are constantly informed of ways all of your information is related that you had not realized. -

PS-Drone
Programming a Parrot AR.Drone 2.0 with Python - The Easy Way
The PS-Drone-API is a full featured SDK, written in and for Python, for Parrot's AR.Drone 2.0. It was designed to be easy to learn, but it offers the full set of the possibilities of the AR.Drone 2.0, including Sensor-Data (aka NavData), Configuration and full Video-support. The video function is not restricted to mere viewing, it is also possible to analyze video images data using OpenCV2. Obviously, the PS-Drone is perfect for teaching purposes; however, even the requirements for professional purposes can be satisfied. PS-Drone comes with a tutorial, explaining its most important commands and the drone's most important sensor values. The examples are easy to understand for people with little programming experience. A full list of commands and a description of all sensor data is available in a detailed documentation. It took several months to create PS-Drone, so it would be nice to get some donations for further development (e.g. Parrot's Bebop) and as a appreciation. -

AllenNLP
An open-source NLP research library, built on PyTorch
AllenNLP makes it easy to design and evaluate new deep learning models for nearly any NLP problem, along with the infrastructure to easily run them in the cloud or on your laptop. AllenNLP includes reference implementations of high quality models for both core NLP problems (e.g. semantic role labeling) and NLP applications (e.g. textual entailment). AllenNLP supports loading "plugins" dynamically. A plugin is just a Python package that provides custom registered classes or additional allennlp subcommands. There is ecosystem of open source plugins, some of which are maintained by the AllenNLP team here at AI2, and some of which are maintained by the broader community. AllenNLP will automatically find any official AI2-maintained plugins that you have installed, but for AllenNLP to find personal or third-party plugins you've installed, you also have to create either a local plugins file named .allennlp_plugins in the directory where you run the allennlp command. -
