    Project mention: LibreOffice – Let's put an end to the speculation | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-04-05

    > Did the ejected developers work on those, or did they only work on things built on top of then or other other non-core things?

    Yes. According to Collabora's stats (on their perspectives), they contribute more than half of the documented features from the release notes for LibreOffice 26.2 [1].

    Collabora's own version of LibreOffice lies in another repo [2], which presumably contains code specific to their own online office suite built from LibreOffice. They seem to moving away for a (maybe soft) fork of LibreOffice, while setting up their own Gerrit instance [3].

    backdoor-apk is a shell script that simplifies the process of adding a backdoor to any Android APK file. Users of this shell script should have working knowledge of Linux, Bash, Metasploit, Apktool, the Android SDK, smali, etc. This shell script is provided as-is without warranty of any kind and is intended for educational purposes only.

    

12. acc

    11 60 2,279 8.3 Shell

    Advanced Charging Controller

    

    Project mention: BU-808: How to Prolong Lithium-based Batteries (2023) | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-01-25

    One of the biggest reasons I still prefer to root my phone is to use acc https://github.com/VR-25/acc. It's criminal that you have to root to run code that reduces charging speed or shuts the phone down automatically. I have it shut down at 20% and charge to 80% except when I know I will need to be out for an extended period without a charger.

13. metasploit_in_termux

    12 6 2,019 5.7 Shell

    Install Metasploit Framework 6 in Termux

    

14. Vanadium

    13 89 1,866 9.5 Shell

    Privacy and security enhanced releases of Chromium for GrapheneOS. Vanadium provides the WebView and standard user-facing browser on GrapheneOS. It depends on hardening in other GrapheneOS repositories and doesn't include patches not relevant to the build targets used on GrapheneOS.

    

    Project mention: Molly: An Improved Signal App | news.ycombinator.com | 2025-11-28

    I agree. In comparison, GrapheneOS writes a summary tag message of the major changes, but links to the commit diff between tags, too:

    https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Vanadium/releases

    With Signal you can do the same yourself, but nobody curated a unique summary message per tag (they reuse the same one across many tags):

    https://github.com/signalapp/Signal-Android/compare/v7.65.0....
