Mirror supports multiple low-level transports, making it adaptable to different game genres and deployment needs.

Alternative Twitter front-end

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. -

BotSlayer
BotSlayer Community Edition
BotSlayer is an application that helps track and detect potential manipulation of information spreading on Twitter. The tool is developed by the Observatory on Social Media at Indiana University --- the same lab that brought to you Botometer and Hoaxy. BotSlayer is not a tool to detect and remove likely social bots from your list of Twitter followers or friends. For that purpose, check out Botometer. If you just want to visualize the spread of some piece of information, consider Hoaxy. BotSlayer can be used, for example, by journalists, corporations, and political candidates to discover in real-time new coordinated campaigns in their domains of interest, without any prior knowledge of these campaigns. The system is easily installed and configured in the cloud to monitor bot activity around a standing user-defined query. All you need is a Twitter developer app key to fetch data from the Twitter streaming API. -

DevConnector 2.0
Social network for developers, built on the MERN stack
devconnector_2.0 is a full-stack MERN example application that demonstrates how to build a social network for developers from scratch. The backend uses Node.js and Express with JWT-based authentication and MongoDB for persistence, modeling users, profiles, posts, and comments. The frontend is a React app that implements routing, protected pages, Redux-style state management, and UI flows such as registration, login, profile creation, and post feeds. It shows end-to-end patterns like form handling, API consumption, error handling, alerts, and deployment-ready configuration. The project is structured as teaching material, making trade-offs explicit and code approachable for newcomers to full-stack development. Learners can use it as a template for their own projects or as a reference for common MERN stack techniques. -

Ebou
A cross platform Mastodon Client written in Rust
Ebou is a different take on the Microblogging / Mastodon experience. It groups new Toots by author and displays them in a UI not unlike modern messengers like Telegram, iMessage or WhatsApp. This makes it easy to see your friends' updates at once. It also has a Conversation view which helps see replies in the originating context. Ebou is currently an experiment and therefore missing some features that you might expect from a full Mastodon client. They will be implemented over time. -

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. -
