BepInEx
Unity / XNA game patcher and plugin framework
Unity / XNA game patcher and plugin framework. BepInEx is a plugin / modding framework for Unity Mono, IL2CPP, and .NET framework games (XNA, FNA, MonoGame, etc.) Stable builds are released once a new iteration of BepInEx is considered feature-complete. They have the least bugs, but some newest features might not be available. Bleeding edge builds are available on BepisBuilds. Bleeding edge builds are always the latest builds of the source code. Thus they are the opposite to stable builds: they have the newest features and bugfixes available, but usually tend to be the most buggy. Therefore you should use bleeding edge builds only if you are asked to or if you want to preview the upcoming version of BepInEx. Some games require some additional changes in order to work around specific limitations of different Unity versions. -

StabilityMatrix
Multi-Platform Package Manager for Stable Diffusion
StabilityMatrix is a project that helps organize, evaluate, and compare generative AI models and their behavior across prompts, datasets, or configuration settings. It provides a framework to run experiments systematically—capturing inputs, model configurations, outputs, and metrics—so researchers and practitioners can reason about differences in quality, robustness, and failure modes. The repository often bundles tooling for automated prompt sweeping, scoring heuristics (such as diversity, coherence, or task-specific metrics), and visualization helpers to make comparisons interpretable. This approach is useful for model selection, prompt engineering, and benchmarking new checkpoints against baseline models under reproducible conditions. By turning ad-hoc tests into tracked experiments, StabilityMatrix reduces bias, surfaces subtle regressions, and accelerates iteration when tuning generative systems. -

Flask
The Python micro framework for building web applications
Flask is a lightweight WSGI web application framework designed to help developers get started with their web applications quickly and easily with the ability to scale up to complex applications. Being a “micro” framework does not mean that your whole web application must fit into a single Python file (although it can) or that it be limited; rather it means that Flask aims to keep the core simple but extensible. Flask offers suggestions, but it won’t make any decisions for you such as what database to use or what dependencies or project layout to choose. You get to choose the tools and libraries you want to use, so Flask can be everything you need and nothing you don’t. Flask has become one of the most popular Python web application frameworks, and has amassed a great number of extensions provided by the community that make adding new functionality easy. -

Selenium
Browser automation framework and ecosystem
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well. If you want to create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, scale and distribute scripts across many environments, then you want to use Selenium WebDriver, a collection of language specific bindings to drive a browser - the way it is meant to be driven. If you want to create quick bug reproduction scripts, create scripts to aid in automation-aided exploratory testing, then you want to use Selenium IDE; a Chrome and Firefox add-on that will do simple record-and-playback of interactions with the browser. If you want to scale by distributing and running tests on several machines and manage multiple environments from a central point. -

Tailwind CSS
A utility-first CSS framework for rapid UI development
Rapidly build modern websites without ever leaving your HTML. A utility-first CSS framework packed with classes like flex, pt-4, text-center and rotate-90 that can be composed to build any design, directly in your markup. Utility classes help you work within the constraints of a system instead of littering your stylesheets with arbitrary values. They make it easy to be consistent with color choices, spacing, typography, shadows, and everything else that makes up a well-engineered design system. Because Tailwind is so low-level, it never encourages you to design the same site twice. Even with the same color palette and sizing scale, it's easy to build the same component with a completely different look in the next project. Tailwind automatically removes all unused CSS when building for production, which means your final CSS bundle is the smallest it could possibly be. In fact, most Tailwind projects ship less than 10kB of CSS to the client. -

CadQuery
A python parametric CAD scripting framework based on OCCT
CadQuery is an intuitive, easy-to-use Python library for building parametric 3D CAD models. It has several goals. Build models with scripts that are as close as possible to how you’d describe the object to a human, using a standard, already established programming language. Create parametric models that can be very easily customized by end users. Output high-quality CAD formats like STEP and AMF in addition to traditional STL. Provide a non-proprietary, plain text model format that can be edited and executed with only a web browser. The scripts use a standard programming language, Python, and thus can benefit from the associated infrastructure. This includes many standard libraries and IDEs. CadQuery's CAD kernel Open CASCADE Technology (OCCT) is much more powerful than the CGAL used by OpenSCAD. Features supported natively by OCCT include NURBS, splines, surface sewing, STL repair, STEP import/export, and other complex operations. -

idevicerestore
Restore/upgrade firmware of iOS devices
A command-line application to restore firmware files to iOS devices. The iDevice restore application is a full reimplementation of all granular steps which are performed during the restore of firmware to a device. In general, upgrades and downgrades are possible, however subject to the availability of SHSH blobs from Apple for signing the firmware files. idevicerestore requires a properly installed usbmuxd for the restore procedure. Please make sure that it is either running or configured to be started automatically as soon as a device is detected in normal and/or restore mode. If properly installed this will be handled by udev/systemd.
