Mirror
#1 Open Source Unity Networking Library
Mirror is a high-level open-source networking library for Unity multiplayer games. It was originally based on UNET and has evolved into a stable, modular framework used by many production Unity projects. The library is designed to make multiplayer development easier by handling common networking patterns such as network identities, synchronization, remote procedure calls, authority, spawning, and transport integration. Mirror supports multiple low-level transports, making it adaptable to different game genres and deployment needs. It is suitable for small multiplayer games, cooperative games, competitive prototypes, and even larger persistent-world or MMORPG-style projects. The project is especially useful for Unity developers who want a mature networking layer without building protocol and synchronization systems from scratch. -

Nitter
Alternative Twitter front-end
Nitter is an open-source alternative frontend for Twitter designed to provide a privacy-focused and lightweight way to browse content without interacting directly with the official platform. It acts as a proxy between the user and Twitter, ensuring that requests are handled by the backend server rather than exposing the user’s IP address or browser fingerprint. The interface is intentionally minimalistic and removes elements such as advertisements, tracking scripts, and algorithmic timelines, presenting content in a chronological and distraction-free format. Users can view profiles, tweets, media, and replies without needing to log in, making it useful for anonymous browsing and content consumption. The system also supports RSS feeds and advanced search features, enabling integration with external tools and workflows. Because it avoids JavaScript and heavy frontend dependencies, Nitter delivers faster performance and lower bandwidth usage compared to the official platform. -

PingMe
PingMe is a CLI which provides the ability to send messages or alerts
PingMe is a personal project to satisfy my need to have alerts, most major platforms have integration to send alerts but it's not always useful, either you are stuck with one particular platform, or you have to do a lot of integrations. I needed a small utility that I could just call from my backup scripts, cron jobs, CI/CD pipelines, or from anywhere to send a message with particular information. And I can ship it everywhere with ease. Hence, the birth of PingMe. Everything is configurable via environment variables, and you can simply export the logs or messages to a variable that will be sent as a message, most of all this serves as a swiss army knife sort of tool that supports multiple platforms. -

GoToSocial
Fast, fun, small ActivityPub server
GoToSocial is an ActivityPub social network server, written in Golang. With GoToSocial, you can keep in touch with your friends, post, read, and share images and articles. All without being tracked or advertised to. It is already deployable and useable, and it federates cleanly with many other Fediverse servers (not yet all). However, many things are not yet implemented, and there are plenty of bugs! We left the alpha stage around September/October 2024, and we intend to exit beta sometime around 2026. GoToSocial provides a lightweight, customizable, and safety-focused entryway into the Fediverse, and is comparable to (but distinct from) existing projects such as Mastodon, Pleroma, Friendica, and PixelFed. If you've ever used something like Twitter or Tumblr (or even Myspace) GoToSocial will probably feel familiar to you: You can follow people and have followers, and you make posts that people can favorite and reply to, and share. -

Elk alpha
A nimble Mastodon web client
A nimble Mastodon web client. In order to host Elk yourself you can use the provided Dockerfile to build a container with Elk. Be aware, that Elk only loads properly if the connection is done via SSL/TLS. The Docker container itself does not provide any SSL/TLS handling. You'll have to add this bit yourself. One could put Elk behind popular reverse proxies with SSL Handling like Traefik, NGINX, etc. The provided Dockerfile creates a container that will eventually run Elk as a non-root user and create a persistent named Docker volume upon first start (if that volume does not yet exist). This volume is always created with root permission. Failing to change the permissions of /elk/data inside this volume to UID: GID 911 (as specified for Elk in the Dockerfile) will prevent Elk from storing its config for user accounts. You either have to fix the permission in the created named volume, or mount a directory with the correct permission to /elk/data into the container. -

Tweepy
Twitter for Python
An easy-to-use Python library for accessing the Twitter API. You can also use Git to clone the repository from GitHub to install the latest development version. The easiest way to install the latest version from PyPI is by using pip. Twitter requires all requests to use OAuth for authentication. The API class provides access to the entire twitter RESTful API methods. Each method can accept various parameters and return responses. When we invoke an API method most of the time returned back to us will be a Tweepy model class instance. This will contain the data returned from Twitter which we can then use inside our application. Models contain the data and some helper methods which we can then use. Tweepy supports both OAuth 1a (application-user) and OAuth 2 (application-only) authentication. Authentication is handled by the tweepy.AuthHandler class. -
