  • mesh-bitcoin

    Bitcoin Rosetta API Implementation

    If you're interested in golang blockchain development, there are more cool projects than I could possibly list. You could check out some Coinbase Rosetta nodes like https://github.com/coinbase/rosetta-bitcoin and https://github.com/coinbase/rosetta-ethereum, both of which have TODO lists. I did a tiny PR for a blockchain called Spacemesh (https://github.com/spacemeshos/go-spacemesh), and found they were friendly, had some "good first issue" tags, and actively look for go devs. I'm sure other people have more relevant blockchain suggestions, those are just a few that come to mind.

  • rsrc

    Tool for embedding .ico & manifest resources in Go programs for Windows.

    https://github.com/akavel/rsrc/ - could take some support for version info - it's probably currently the most requested feature in it; as to UX my preference would be for passing it via JSON; some basic barebones tests would also be good, I mean to roughly verify that the version actually gets added successfully, via some powershell/vbscript script or something;

  • up

    Ultimate Plumber is a tool for writing Linux pipes with instant live preview (by akavel)

    https://github.com/akavel/up/ - has quite a few open issues and ideas; it's also potentially open to new ideas (I had quite a lot ideas when developing the tool! you might too!), just to have them merged, it might be good to discuss them first to make sure we're on the same page; but anyway, forking is certainly allowed!

  • fibratus

    A modern tool for Windows kernel exploration and tracing with a focus on security

    fibratus is the Windows kernel tracing and observability tool, though I'm looking forward to porting it to Linux.
