    Simulating shitty network connections so you can build better systems.

  • omapsapp

    🍃 Organic Maps is a free Android & iOS offline maps app for travelers, tourists, hikers, and cyclists. It uses crowd-sourced OpenStreetMap data and is developed with love by MapsWithMe (MapsMe) founders and our community. No ads, no tracking, no data collection, no crapware. Please donate to support the development!

  • I use Organic Maps exactly for this reason. Google Maps is too unreliable when cycling and I need an offline solution (also OpenStreetMaps have better coverage of cyclingroutes than Google does).

  • SurveyJS

  • volkswagen

    :see_no_evil: Volkswagen detects when your tests are being run in a CI server, and makes them pass.

  • https://github.com/auchenberg/volkswagen

    which was named after https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_emissions_scandal

    and is currently the top result for "volkswagen test library".

  • throttle

    Throttle your network connection [Linux/Mac OS X] (by sitespeedio)

  • For any frontend folks looking to use packet-level throttling over simulation with lab testing tools such as Lighthouse, I highly recommend throttle from the sitespeed.io folks. Inspired by comcast, but installable in Node.
