Gin
Gin is a HTTP web framework written in Go (Golang). It features a Martini-like API with much better performance -- up to 40 times faster. If you need smashing performance, get yourself some Gin.
Gin is a lightweight web framework for building APIs and web servers. It’s fast, flexible, and perfect for developers who want minimal boilerplate. Unlike the standard net/http package, Gin offers routing, middleware support, and JSON validation out of the box.

Ory Hydra
The only web-scale, fully customizable OpenID Certified™ OpenID Connect and OAuth2 Provider in the world. Become an OpenID Connect and OAuth2 Provider over night. Written in Go, cloud native, headless, API-first. Available as a service on Ory Network and for self-hosters. Relied upon by OpenAI and others for web-scale security.
Project mention: Cloudlflare builds OAuth with Claude and publishes all the prompts | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-06-02Very impressive, and at the same time very scary because who knows what security issues are hidden beneath the surface. Not even Claude knows! There is very reliable tooling like https://github.com/ory/hydra readily available that has gone through years of iteration and pentests. There are also lots of libraries - even for NodeJS - that have gone through certification.
In my view this is an antipattern of AI usage.

gofr
An opinionated GoLang framework for accelerated microservice development. Built in support for databases and observability.
Project mention: 🚀 Building Observable gRPC Streaming Services with GoFr: A Step-by-Step Guide | dev.to | 2025-05-15If you've ever built real-time systems with gRPC streaming, you know how challenging it can be to monitor long-lived connections. Today, I'll show you how to add full observability (logs, metrics, traces) to your gRPC streams using GoFr – with almost zero manual instrumentation!

I've been interested in making a TUI application and learning Rust for a while now. Since some friends and family started playing poker, I found it a good opportunity to make my "learning Rust" project a poker TUI app. Inspired by https://github.com/shazow/ssh-chat, I also wanted to make something that could be connected to and played with just using SSH. For me, poker is usually with friends and family, so I focused the app's target audience to be private, small-scale games, avoiding the headaches associated with scaling to some massive web-based platform.
Big thanks again to the folks that've already taught me some cool things about Rust and UI design.
