ArchiSteamFarm
C# application with primary purpose of farming Steam cards from multiple accounts simultaneously.
Project mention: [Steam] (Game) Through Abandoned: The Underground City | reddit.com/r/FreeGameFindings | 2022-11-16You need ArchiSteamFarm and you then use those commands in the WebUI Commands Console.

Project mention: GTK support for macOS is being worked on for those who want to create applications for macOS. | reddit.com/r/linux | 2022-11-24
I've had to resort to make TUIs with https://github.com/gui-cs/Terminal.Gui because there's no sane way to make a GUI app in Linux without a 300-files boilerplate or obscure languages.
-
Scout APM
Truly a developer’s best friend. Scout APM is great for developers who want to find and fix performance issues in their applications. With Scout, we'll take care of the bugs so you can focus on building great things 🚀.

If you're on Windows, just use win-acme, it can automatically detect IIS configuration and handle Apache, both without stopping the server.
-
Command Line Parser
The best C# command line parser that brings standardized *nix getopt style, for .NET. Includes F# support
Project mention: Made this a while ago and forgot to share it here -- ArgSharp, a simple and capable CLI argument parser | reddit.com/r/csharp | 2022-09-06seems very similar to command line parser, btw good job
-
Project mention: Calling PowerShell Azure module and creating resource group from C# | reddit.com/r/dotnet | 2022-10-07

sdk
Core functionality needed to create .NET Core projects, that is shared between Visual Studio and CLI (by dotnet)
Project mention: How to implement hot module reloading in a programming language? | reddit.com/r/ProgrammingLanguages | 2022-11-15 -
InfluxDB
Build time-series-based applications quickly and at scale.. InfluxDB is the Time Series Data Platform where developers build real-time applications for analytics, IoT and cloud-native services in less time with less code.
-
Project mention: Enforcing command line arguments with CommandLineUtils? | reddit.com/r/dotnet | 2022-10-20
The library doesn't support that format, here you can see that MultipleValues means for example "-o value1 -o value2" Options Support options with multiple values · Issue #311 · natemcmaster/CommandLineUtils · GitHub
-
Cocona
Micro-framework for .NET console application. Cocona makes it easy and fast to build console applications on .NET.
Project mention: Best way to build a console app with command line parser and dependency injection? | reddit.com/r/csharp | 2022-08-16 -

-
Project mention: How to Develop an Interactive CLI with C# to Manage SendGrid Dynamic Email Templates | reddit.com/r/csharp | 2022-07-05
I used CliFx before and was already familiar with how fast you can develop a CLI. The fun part of this project was to make the CLI interactive by using the Sharprompt library.
-
No offense but this is two extension methods for string with an argument for a built-in color. Yes it's useful but not really worth developing an entire library around. You might be interested in Colorful.Console.
-
Project mention: Minecraft-Console-Client VS minecraft-terminal - a user suggested alternative | libhunt.com/r/Minecraft-Console-Client | 2022-10-06
-
Project mention: Why Microsoft is not pushing hard on OData in rescent .net versions? | reddit.com/r/dotnet | 2022-11-23
https://github.com/Biarity/Sieve Sieve is a simple, clean, and extensible framework for .NET Core that adds sorting, filtering, and pagination functionality out of the box. Most common use case would be for serving ASP.NET Core GET queries.

> With regards to chroot, I stand corrected. I knew it was a tree of symlinks, but I thought it was also more than that because symlinks alone don't seem like a sandbox. Honestly, Cosmopolitan's system appears to be more of a sandbox than that.
To be totally clear: the tree of symlinks thing is a fallback, used only when lacking platform support or when sandboxing is explicitly turned off [0]. On Linux, the normal sandboxing strategy is to use namespaces, like most container runtimes. On Mac it apparently uses sandbox-exec (some opaque Apple tool), as was mentioned above. Chroot, being both non-POSIX, requiring root access on many systems, and not providing the necessary facilities is not really a great fit -- which I assume is why it's not used.
There was experimental Windows sandbox support at one point [1] based on how MS does it for BuildXL (their own build tool for giant monorepos) [2]. Unfortunately it doesn't seem to be maintained, and under the hood it's kinda ugly -- it actively rewrites code in-memory to intercept calls to the Win32 APIs [3], which was apparently the cleanest/best way MS could come up with. However, from Bazel's POV it works in a roughly similar way -- you spawn subprocesses under a supervisor, which is in charge of spinning up whatever the target process is with restrictions on time/memory usage/file access.
On the "sandbox in the interpreter" thing: what kind of checks are you envisioning? It seems like putting checks at that level would end up leaving a lot out -- the goal of any build system is to eventually spawn an arbitrary process (Python, gcc, javac, some shell script, etc.) and so even with extensive checks in starlark you'd end up with accidental sandbox breaks all over the place. For pure starlark rules you could e.g. check that there are no inputs from /usr, but even then if gcc does it implicitly, you're SOL. Or am I thinking of the wrong kind of checks?

Hah I was just looking at this recently. I was looking for a C# version. I couldn't find anything nice though. There's this https://github.com/elw00d/consoleframework but it looks like it hasn't been updated in a long time.

Project mention: Spectre.Console is a .NET Standard 2.0 library that makes it easier to create beautiful console applications. | reddit.com/r/dotnet | 2022-09-23
Have you seen CommandDotNet by chance? It has an integration with Spectre.Console. It provides some powerful test tools and what I think is a simpler and more flexible way to define commands.You can check out the features page to see what's available.
