  5. FSS

    I have gone through many small projects such as a P2P "airdrop-like" file sharing between PCs, a simple filehosting service with access management (in pair with my friend), GTK GUI for Ventoy.org before there was an official one, AI-powered webcam filter for linux allowing to shift viewframe of the camera to always center on your face, an Ubuntu remix with flatpaks instead of snaps (over 100 upvotes on r/linux, lol), and a number of not very linux related open hardware projects: a raspberry PI Compute Module 4 carrier board, a tiny implementation of raspberry pi foundation's micro-controller rp2040, as well as a 80% keyboard (which turned out to be kinda bad tbh)

  16. spdlog

    Fast C++ logging library.

    spdlog, a pretty useful and more and more commonly used logging library for C++.\ SixtyFPS, an emerging GUI library for Rust, but you can use it in multiple languages. It uses OpenGL or Qt currently as backend (well, it's a new library and they wanted two from the get-go to make sure their abstractions are done right/well enough). They started a company this year for it too.

  17. Slint

    Discontinued Slint is a toolkit to efficiently develop fluid graphical user interfaces for any display: embedded devices and desktop applications. We support multiple programming languages, such as Rust, C++ or JavaScript. [Moved to: https://github.com/slint-ui/slint]
