  • imgui

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

    Project mention: Microui+fenster=Small GUI | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-07

    Cool project! Graphics programming is _hard_ and anything to make it easier is welcome.

    Maybe a dumb question, but why not Imgui (https://github.com/ocornut/imgui). "It's way too big and complex" is a completely reasonable answer, but I found it fantastic for debug menus, and there are a few applications that have used it as their _main_ GUI (Ship of Harkinian as an example).

  • sherlock

    Hunt down social media accounts by username across social networks

    Project mention: Introduction for OSD600 class | dev.to | 2024-09-05

    For this blog post, we were asked to get started in the world of open source and explore top trending GitHub repos. I began by looking through different repositories, trying to find something related to Cloud, but nothing caught my interest. Then, I started browsing more broadly and came across sherlock-project/sherlock, which instantly grabbed my attention. Here's my fork 🍴: https://github.com/hpatel292-seneca/sherlock.

  • Appwrite

    Your backend, minus the hassle.

    Project mention: Flutter vs Native: Why Flutter Wins for TV App Development | dev.to | 2024-09-16

    Project mention: Awesome List | dev.to | 2024-06-08

  • ShareX

    ShareX is a free and open source program that lets you capture or record any area of your screen and share it with a single press of a key. It also allows uploading images, text or other types of files to many supported destinations you can choose from.

    Project mention: Flameshot – Powerful, yet simple to use open-source screenshot software | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-06-11

    I've been using ShareX (https://getsharex.com/) for some years, which is also open-source, and very featureful while not feeling too bloated, though Windows only.

    I'll have to have a look at this next time I'm on a Linux desktop, as I found the options lacking compared to ShareX last time I looked.

  • Awesome-Linux-Software

    🐧 A list of awesome Linux softwares

    Project mention: Good coding groups for black women? | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-13

  • it-tools

    Project mention: DevHub.app – Developer Utilities for macOS | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-09-06

    I use the self-hosted version of IT-Tools [1] on my own subdomain. I find it helpful that I can access these tools no matter which machine I'm using (as long as I have an internet connection).

    We will use https://github.com/air-verse/air to do live reloading for us.

  • infer

    A static analyzer for Java, C, C++, and Objective-C

    Project mention: An Introduction to Temporal Logic (With Applications to Concurrency Problems) | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-01-22

    I think most development occurs on problems that can't be formally modeled anyway. Most developers work on things like, "can you add this feature to the e-commerce site? And can the pop-up be blue?" which isn't really model-able.

    But that's not to say that formal methods are useless! We can still prove some interesting aspects of programs -- for example, that every lock that gets acquired later gets released. I think tools like Infer[0] could become common in the coming years.

  • DearPyGui

    Dear PyGui: A fast and powerful Graphical User Interface Toolkit for Python with minimal dependencies

    Project mention: PysimpleGUI | news.ycombinator.com | 2023-12-08

    For native GUI, DearPyGui[0] as modern as you can.

    For browser web-based GUI, you can use nicegui[1]

  • eza

    A modern alternative to ls

    Project mention: Eza: A modern, maintained replacement for ls | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-07-21

    - Eza --hyperlink doesn't have "auto" mode so if I alias ls to it, ls | sed hacks will likely behave unexpectedly if I enable it: https://github.com/eza-community/eza/issues/703 and this also seems like an instance of it: https://github.com/eza-community/eza/issues/693

  • Gitbucket

    A Git platform powered by Scala with easy installation, high extensibility & GitHub API compatibility

    Project mention: Go's old $GOPATH story for development and dependencies | news.ycombinator.com | 2024-05-24

    Yeah, I'm actually doing that with Gitea: https://about.gitea.com/

    Some people went with the forgejo fork: https://forgejo.org/ though Gitea itself was a fork of Gogs, if I remember correctly: https://gogs.io/

    I also ran GitLab in the past: https://about.gitlab.com/ but keeping it updated and giving it enough resources for it to be happy was troublesome.

    There's also GitBucket: https://gitbucket.github.io/ and some other platforms, though those tend to be a little bit more niche.

    Either way, there's lots of nice options out there, albeit I'd still have to admit that just using GitHub or cloud GitLab version would be easier for most folks. Convenience and all.
