ThingPulse ESP8266 Weather Station
ESP8266 Weather Station library supporting OpenWeatherMap
This code works best with the NodeMCU V2 ESP8266 module and an 0.96" OLED display. To get you up and running in no time we created a kit that contains all the necessary parts. By buying this and other kits from us you are funding the maintenance and development of this library. Make sure you use a version of the Arduino IDE which is supported by the ESP8266 platform. If you are using the PlatformIO environment for building, choose one of the available IDE integration or the Atom-based IDE, install libraries 561, 562, and 563 with "platformio lib install", adapt the WeatherStationDemo.ino file to your needs. The simple class uses the header date and time to set the clock. NTP-based time class written by Fabrice Weinberg. We fixed many bugs and improved performance and changed the API a little bit. Either compare your code to the updated WeatherStationDemo or read through the upgrade guide. -

Qualify
Claude code to help you do lead research and qualification
Qualify is a lightweight micro-CRM prototype and automation framework geared toward helping small teams and individual users manage leads, tasks, customer interactions, and simple sales pipelines without the overhead of traditional enterprise platforms. Rather than trying to replicate every feature of a full CRM suite, it focuses on core workflows like capturing leads, tracking stages, logging interactions, and generating reminders or alerts for follow-ups so that users spend more time building relationships and less time navigating interface complexity. Built with simplicity and extensibility in mind, the project includes REST APIs, database models, and a user interface that can be extended or embedded into existing internal systems. Because it prioritizes lean data structures and predictable code paths, developers can customize pipelines, fields, and behaviors to align with their unique business logic. -

Hypernomicon
Hypertext-infused philosophy personal database software
Hypernomicon is a personal productivity/database application for researchers that combines structured note-taking, mind-mapping, management of files (e.g., PDFs) and folders, and reference management into an integrated environment that organizes all of the above into semantic networks or hierarchies in terms of debates, positions, arguments, labels, terminology/concepts, and user-defined keywords by means of database relations and automatically generated hyperlinks (hence ‘Hyper’ in the name). Hypernomicon keeps track of all these things in a highly structured, thoroughly indexed and user friendly relational database, automatically generates semantic hyperlinks between all of them, and presents this information in many different forms so that you are constantly informed of ways all of your information is related that you had not realized. -

Containerization (Apple)
Containerization is a Swift package for running Linux containers
This repository provides educational material and sample code that demystify how containerization works and how container components fit together in practice. It walks through the responsibilities of an image format, registry, and runtime, and shows how a minimal runtime can assemble an isolated process with the right filesystem view, environment, and entrypoint. The samples highlight security hardening considerations—such as process isolation, filesystem scoping, and least-privilege execution—so that containers are not just portable, but safer by default. Developers get a blueprint for taking standard container images and running them in a way that respects platform conventions, tooling, and policies. The emphasis is on clarity and standards alignment rather than building a production-grade engine, which makes the code ideal for learning and experimentation. -

Docear
An Academic Literature Suite
Docear (pronounced dog-ear) is what we call an “academic literature suite”. It integrates everything you need to search, organize and create academic literature in a single application: a digital library, reference manager, PDF and file manager, note taking and mind mapping. And the best: Docear works seemlessly with many existing tools like Mendeley, Microsoft Word, and Foxit Reader. Docear is free and open source, based on Freeplane, funded by the German Federal Ministry of Technology and developed by scientists from around the world, among others from OvGU, and the University of California, Berkeley.
