  • oguri

    Discontinued A very nice animated wallpaper daemon for Wayland compositors

    • It supports a bunch of file types (anything the image crate supports), AND animated gifs. Regarding those, one of the big motivations for making this was oguri's insane memory usage when displaying animations. For reference, for me, oguri used up a little over 8 GIGABYTES OF RAM for a 450 frames gif, while swww is currently using around 49 megabytes for the same file.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
