  3. imgui

    Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ with minimal dependencies

    Project mention: Dear ImGui: Bloat-free Graphical User interface for C++ | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-09-03
  4. ccxt

    Project mention: My WebSocket was open the whole time. It just stopped sending anything. | dev.to | 2026-08-31

    #22662 — watch_order_book hangs indefinitely: socket open, pings and pongs succeeding, no data, no exception raised.

  5. libcurl

    A command line tool and library for transferring data with URL syntax, supporting DICT, FILE, FTP, FTPS, GOPHER, GOPHERS, HTTP, HTTPS, IMAP, IMAPS, LDAP, LDAPS, MQTT, MQTTS, POP3, POP3S, RTSP, SCP, SFTP, SMB, SMBS, SMTP, SMTPS, TELNET, TFTP, WS and WSS. libcurl offers a myriad of powerful features

    Project mention: Two ARM64-specific compiler optimization bugs, in GCC 15/16 and Rust, hit curl | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-10-06

    The social post links to this bug https://github.com/curl/curl/issues/23237

  6. heroui

    🚀 Beautiful, fast and modern React UI library. (Previously NextUI)

    Project mention: How to Make Your App Look Good When You’re Not a Designer | dev.to | 2026-08-06

    I have used HeroUI and Untitled UI, and I consider both good options. Both provide free components, but accessing their more complete collections of components, page examples, and application templates requires buying their paid versions. That can still be a sensible investment if it saves several days of design and development work.

  7. Mo.js

    The motion graphics toolbelt for the web

    Project mention: JavaScript Awesome Package | dev.to | 2026-02-03

    Mojs - Screen density independent effects look good on any device

  8. framework7

    Full featured HTML framework for building iOS & Android apps

    Project mention: Top 10 Frameworks for Hybrid Mobile Apps in 2026 | dev.to | 2025-12-19

    Framework7 is a hybrid mobile app framework focused on creating iOS and Android apps with a native look and feel. It is especially suitable for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs) and smaller projects. Framework7 comes with a comprehensive set of UI components that match each platform’s design guidelines, allowing developers to quickly build visually appealing applications with minimal configuration.

  9. SaaSHub

    SaaSHub logo
  10. tracy

    Frame profiler

    Project mention: Show HN: Shirei, cross-platform GUI framework in native Go | news.ycombinator.com | 2026-07-12

    Is Tracy complicated enough? Because it's imgui.

  11. badger

    Fast key-value DB in Go.

  12. webview

    Tiny cross-platform webview library for C/C++. Uses WebKit (GTK/Cocoa) and Edge WebView2 (Windows).

    Project mention: Building desktop WebView apps in Go without CGo | dev.to | 2026-06-29

    Glaze is a desktop WebView binding for Go. It is a pure-Go port of webview/webview built on purego, keeping CGo out of the picture. Each backend talks to the WebView framework the OS already ships -- WKWebView on macOS, WebKitGTK on Linux, WebView2 on Windows -- so nothing native is bundled.

  13. QuestPDF

    QuestPDF is a modern library for PDF document generation. Its fluent C# API lets you design complex layouts with clean, readable code. Create documents using a flexible, component-based approach.

    Project mention: 7 Document Processing Tasks Every .NET Developer Should Automate | dev.to | 2026-05-20

    The following example uses QuestPDF to generate a simple invoice PDF:

  14. FreeRDP

    FreeRDP is a free remote desktop protocol library and clients

    Project mention: Mastering Unattended Remote Desktop on Wayland: A Modern DevOps Guide | dev.to | 2026-08-19

    This implementation utilizes RDP and includes a clever mechanism for session handoff. When a user authenticates, the system daemon manages a redirection process that ensures the user is securely passed from the login greeter to their specific desktop session. With the release of GNOME 50, this system has seen major performance improvements, including GPU-offloaded video encoding via Vulkan and VA-API, which makes the remote interaction significantly more responsive.

  15. barba

    Create badass, fluid and smooth transitions between your website’s pages

  16. bloc

    A predictable state management library that helps implement the BLoC design pattern

    Project mention: The Complete Guide to Flutter BLoC State Management | dev.to | 2026-03-18

    The BLoC (Business Logic Component) pattern is where serious teams land. Google's own Flutter team uses it internally. Nubank, one of the world's largest digital banks with 90 million customers, built its app on it. BMW runs it in production. The flutter_bloc package has logged over 1.4 million downloads on pub.dev. That's not hype. That's validation at scale.

  17. animated-tab-bar

    :octocat: RAMAnimatedTabBarController is a Swift UI module library for adding animation to iOS tabbar items and icons. iOS library made by @Ramotion

  18. Apache Thrift

  19. cdnjs

    🤖 CDN assets - The #1 free and open source CDN built to make life easier for developers.

    Project mention: How to Detect cdnjs on Any Website (API Guide) | dev.to | 2026-06-30
