MatinSenPai/Aether-GUI (★195 · TypeScript) English · فارسی A one-click desktop GUI for Aether, a censorship-circumvention tunnel built for heavily restricted networks.

vicotrbb/devboxes (★14 · Python) Devboxes turns Kubernetes capacity into ready-to-use development machines. Create one from your terminal, connect over SSH, and return to the same tmux session after a disconnect. Compute is disposable; the home volume persists until you explicitly purge it.
arthurkatcher/grok-delegate (★13 · JavaScript) grok-delegate is a Grok Build plugin that hands work to local Claude Code or Codex while you stay in the Grok session. The delegate runs as a normal background task: tools and progress stream into the task log, the result comes back when it finishes, and canceling the task stops the engine’s whole process group so nothing is left orphan...
anshupriyan/TermTube (★13 · Python) A high-performance command-line YouTube video and audio player that renders videos directly in your terminal using ANSI color codes or ASCII text art, synchronized with live audio. Developed for modern terminal emulators with truecolor support. ---

mergeos-bounties/mt5-mcp (★3 · Python) mt5-mcp is an MCP server so AI agents can inspect and trade against a MetaTrader 5 terminal — account, symbols, quotes, orders/positions, history — with a full offline mock for CI and demos. ---
vite — v8.1.4
A build tool and dev server for modern web projects. Starts instantly (no bundling in dev), uses native ES modules in the browser, and bundles with Rollup for production. The replacement for webpack in most new projects.
esbuild — v0.28.1
A JavaScript and TypeScript bundler written in Go. Extremely fast — 10-100x faster than webpack or Rollup. Used as the engine inside Vite and many other tools. Good for simple bundling; less configurable than webpack.
turbo — v2.10.5
A build system for JavaScript/TypeScript monorepos. Caches task results so you only re-run what changed. Built by Vercel. Speeds up CI and local builds in large codebases with multiple packages.
biome — v0.3.3
A single tool that replaces both ESLint and Prettier. Formats and lints JavaScript, TypeScript, JSON, and CSS. Written in Rust, so it runs much faster than the JS-based tools it replaces.
bun — v1.3.14
A JavaScript runtime, package manager, bundler, and test runner in one. Faster than Node.js at most things. Drop-in compatible with most Node.js code. Written in Zig.
vitest — v4.1.10
A unit testing framework built specifically for Vite projects. Uses the same config as your Vite build, runs tests in the browser environment, and is significantly faster than Jest.
oxc — v1.0.1
A JavaScript/TypeScript toolchain written in Rust — parser, linter, formatter, transpiler, bundler. The project behind the oxlint linter. Faster than most existing tools by a large margin.
rspack — v0.1.1
A webpack-compatible bundler written in Rust. Drop-in replacement for webpack with the same config format, but much faster. Built by ByteDance (TikTok's parent).
wrangler — v4.111.0
The CLI for deploying and managing Cloudflare Workers — serverless functions that run at the edge in Cloudflare's global network. Also manages KV storage, Durable Objects, Pages, and R2.
drizzle-orm — v0.45.2
A TypeScript ORM that lets you write SQL-like queries in TypeScript with full type safety. Lightweight, no code generation step, and closer to raw SQL than ORMs like Prisma.
