FastAPI
FastAPI framework, high performance, easy to learn, fast to code
FastAPI is a modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints. Great editor support. Completion everywhere. Less time debugging. Designed to be easy to use and learn. Less time reading docs. Minimize code duplication. Multiple features from each parameter declaration. Fewer bugs. Get production-ready code. With automatic interactive documentation. Based on (and fully compatible with) the open standards for APIs: OpenAPI (previously known as Swagger) and JSON Schema. If you are building a CLI app to be used in the terminal instead of a web API, check out Typer. Typer is FastAPI's little sibling. And it's intended to be the FastAPI of CLIs. In summary, you declare once the types of parameters, body, etc. as function parameters. You do that with standard modern Python types. You don't have to learn a new syntax, the methods or classes of a specific library, etc. -

Vim Win32 Installer
Vim Win32 Installer
The vim-win32-installer project provides prebuilt Windows installers and archive builds of Vim — the venerable command-line text editor known for its efficiency, modal editing, and extensibility — specifically packaged for the Microsoft Windows platform. This repository automates building Nightly and stable snapshots of Vim for Win32, Win64, and ARM64 targets, producing ready-to-run .exe installers and .zip bundles that users can download and install without compiling from source. It ensures that Windows users have access to the latest Vim features and bug fixes with appropriate patches applied, maintaining compatibility with native Windows behavior while preserving the core Unix-originated Vim experience. These builds can include support for scripting languages such as Python, Ruby, Lua, and Perl when corresponding interpreters are installed, expanding Vim’s extensibility on Windows. -

Mozc
Mozc - a Japanese Input Method Editor designed for multi-platform
Mozc is an open source Japanese Input Method Editor (IME) developed by Google, designed to provide Japanese text input across multiple operating systems including Android, macOS, Windows, GNU/Linux, and Chromium OS. The project originated as a subset of Google Japanese Input, released publicly under the BSD 3-Clause license for community use and development. Mozc offers core IME functionality such as text conversion, prediction, and dictionary-based input, enabling users to efficiently type and edit Japanese text. While Mozc shares much of its codebase with Google’s internal IME, it operates as an independent open source project without official support, guarantees, or stable release cycles. Developers can build Mozc from source for their preferred platform, and the repository includes detailed build instructions for Android, Linux, macOS, and Windows environments. -

AutoCut
Cut videos with a text editor
AutoCut is an innovative tool that lets users edit and cut videos using a text-centric workflow instead of a traditional video editor. AutoCut automatically generates subtitles or transcripts for uploaded videos, and users can simply edit the text file to select the segments of the video they want to keep. This approach transforms video editing into a textual editing task, greatly lowering the barrier to editing for users who find traditional video editors complex or unintuitive. AutoCut supports multiple transcription backends, including Whisper and faster-whisper modes, allowing users to choose based on speed or accuracy needs. After editing the transcript text, the corresponding video clips are merged into the final output, and the tool also produces matching subtitle files. Its command-line interface can be integrated into scripts, making it suitable for automated workflows or batch processing. -

Jupytext
Jupyter Notebooks as Markdown Documents, Julia, Python or R scripts
Have you always wished Jupyter notebooks were plain text documents? Wished you could edit them in your favorite IDE? And get clear and meaningful diffs when doing version control? Then, Jupytext may well be the tool you’re looking for. Only the notebook inputs (and optionally, the metadata) are included. Text notebooks are well suited for version control. You can also edit or refactor them in an IDE - the .py notebook above is a regular Python file. Text notebooks with a .py or .md extension are well suited for version control. They can be edited or authored conveniently in an IDE. You can open and run them as notebooks in Jupyter Lab with a right click. However, the notebook outputs are lost when the notebook is closed, as only the notebook inputs are saved in text notebooks. -

Planning with Files
Claude Code skill implementing Manus-style persistent planning
Planning With Files is a Claude Code skill — essentially a plugin for AI agent workflows — that adapts the “Manus-style” persistent markdown planning methodology into developer workflows, enabling structured project planning, progress tracking, and knowledge storage using plain text files. Inspired by high-profile agent workflows and context engineering patterns, it uses persistent markdown files (like task_plan.md, progress.md, and findings.md) as the “working memory” for AI agents, overcoming the limitations of ephemeral memory and large context windows that often lead to drift or information loss. Once installed, the plugin supports commands to create and manage planning files, integrates with multiple IDEs and CLI environments, and ensures sessions can recover progress even when context limits are reached. -

jieba
Stuttering Chinese word segmentation
"Jaba" Chinese word segmentation, do the best Python Chinese word segmentation component. Four word segmentation modes are supported. Precise mode, which tries to cut the sentence most precisely, suitable for text analysis. Full mode, scans all the words that can be formed into words in the sentence, the speed is very fast, but the ambiguity cannot be resolved. The search engine mode, on the basis of the precise mode, divides the long words again to improve the recall rate, which is suitable for word segmentation in search engines. The paddle mode uses the PaddlePaddle deep learning framework to train the sequence labeling (bidirectional GRU) network model to achieve word segmentation. Also supports part-of-speech tagging. To use paddle mode, you need to install paddlepaddle-tiny, pip install paddlepaddle-tiny==1.6.1. Currently paddle mode supports jieba v0.40 and above. For versions below jieba v0.40, please upgrade jieba, pip install jieba --upgrade. -

novelWriter
Open source plain text editor designed for writing novels
A markdown-like text editor designed for writing novels and larger projects of many smaller plain text documents. It is designed to be a simple text editor that allows for easy organization of text files and notes, with a metadata syntax for comments, synopsis, and cross-referencing between files, and built on plain text files for robustness. The project storage is suitable for version control software, and also well suited for file synchronisation tools. All text is saved as plain text files with a meta data header. The core project structure is stored in a single project XML file. Other meta data is primarily saved as JSON files. -
