Project mention: An AI Agent Published a Hit Piece on Me – More Things Have Happened | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-02-13
Another fascinating thing that the Reddit thread discussing the original PR pointed out is that whoever owns that AI account opened another PR (same commits) and later posted this comment: https://github.com/matplotlib/matplotlib/pull/31138#issuecom...
> Original PR from #31132 but now with 100% more meat. Do you need me to upload a birth certificate to prove that I'm human?
It’s a bit wild to me that people are siding with the AI agent / whoever is commanding it. Combined with the LLM hallucinated reporting and all the discussion this has spawned, I think this is making out to be a great case study on the social impact of LLM tooling.

Project mention: Looking for a Remote Job in Python/Django/Flask | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-12-17
3. https://github.com/r0x0r/pywebview/pull/958 [Pywebview - A lightweight library for building desktop apps with html|css|js ]

pdfarranger
Small python-gtk application, which helps the user to merge or split PDF documents and rotate, crop and rearrange their pages using an interactive and intuitive graphical interface.

Yeah. Plus the fact that ulauncher is already an existing launcher-type app for Linux: https://ulauncher.io/

pyglossary
A tool for converting dictionary files aka glossaries. Mainly to help use our offline glossaries in any Open Source dictionary we like on any operating system / device.
I skimmed through Livio web-site and it seems like it's just a repacked wiktionary?
On my e-book I use KOReader and I uploaded dictionaries of my personal choice on it. When I see a new word, I hold a finger for a bit longer than usual and KOReader opens a modal window with a definition from Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary. It took some time to find a DRM-free version and convert it into StarDict format but I've done it so I can share you only need to use this Python script: https://github.com/ilius/pyglossary. I'm sure there's already a wiktionary stardict on the web and you won't need pyglossary.
KOReader can be installed on many popular e-readers, including jailbroken Kindles (this usually takes 10 minutes to do depending on Amazon mood).

Project mention: Build a reusable Terminator layout with pre-loaded commands per pane | dev.to | 2026-04-30
This post walks through building a single shell script that opens Terminator with a custom layout — three panes, each with its own title and a list of commands pre-loaded into shell history, ready to fire with a single up arrow.

themix-gui
Graphical application for generating different color variations of Oomox (Numix-based) theme (GTK2, GTK3, Cinnamon, GNOME, Openbox, Xfwm), Archdroid, Gnome-Color, Numix, Papirus and Suru++ icon themes. Have a hack for HiDPI in gtk2. Its Base16 plugin also allowing a lot of app themes support like Alacritty, Emacs, GTK4, KDE, VIM and many more.

I use a similar tool, Gradia.
https://github.com/AlexanderVanhee/Gradia
The border can look nice in certain settings, the annotation tools are handy for drawing attention to specific elements. It has the ability to hide/mask things too. All wrapped in a nice intuitive interface.

GTK-for-Windows-Runtime-Environment-Installer
GTK+ for Windows Runtime Environment Installer (fork from http://gtk-win.sourceforge.net)
Somewhat tangential: Is there a lightweight distribution of GTK2? I was shopping for a cross-platform GUI library with a C API, and GTK2 seemed like the right choice. But the Windows distribution [1] had 30-40 DLLs and none of them seemed to be optional in DependencyWalker.
