Daily shares of interesting GitHub open-source projects. AI tools, automation gems, technical tutorials, open-source inspiration.
The open-source ps2-web-recomp project statically recompiles PS2 MIPS machine code to C++ and then WebAssembly, letting Gran Turismo 4 and God of War 2 run in Chrome at near-native speed via WebGPU compute shaders, with a reusable toolchain that discovers missing functions through headless execution.
The pdoom-video project demonstrates a fully code-rendered music video using TypeScript and three.js, where each frame is a deterministic function of time, featuring 20 procedural scenes synchronized to word-level lyrics, 4K output with adaptive motion blur, and an AI-assisted workflow producing a complete programmable video pipeline.
DroidDeck is an Android app that creates a Linux runtime to run Valve's official ARM64 Steam client and Proton, enabling native Windows gaming on Snapdragon 8-series handhelds without streaming, including KDE Plasma desktop, multi-store aggregation, and controller support, but requires Adreno 730+ GPU and disabling a system setting.
The omdrop-owl project enables bidirectional AirDrop file transfer between Linux (on MediaTek MT7925 Wi-Fi) and Apple devices by running the AWDL protocol in userspace, piggybacking on the existing Wi-Fi channel so the network connection stays active, with installation steps, hardware compatibility details, and known limitations documented.
Helix Foundry connects Postgres, Stripe, WorkOS, and PostHog into a unified ontology graph on your laptop, runs analytical queries via DuckDB, and answers questions with a local LLM — all without accounts, deployment, or cloud dependencies.
iPhone Use enables natural-language control of a real iPhone via USB by exposing 17 tools through a local MCP service to Codex, with fallback screenshot-based tapping when element location fails, optimistic execution to reduce model round-trips, and compact observation outputs.
ArtCraft team clean-room reimplemented 12 creative apps (Photoshop, Premiere, Illustrator, Office, AutoCAD) in Rust, open-source, cross-platform, with a unified command architecture enabling AI Agent control via CLI, JSON, and MCP.
The article introduces Top-Conf Figure Gallery, a static webpage collecting 3,516 Figure 1 images from six top AI conferences (2023–2026), filterable by conference, year, acceptance tier, and visual mode, plus FigureForge, an AI-assisted tool that uses these figures as references to generate draft illustrations for researchers' papers.
ReSkate is an open-source fan project that enables offline play, self-hosted 32-player servers, and mod support for EA's skate., requiring a legitimate Steam copy; it includes a launcher, runtime, dedicated server with anti-cheat, mod management via Thunderstore, and version locking, but users must trust mod sources and accept GPL-3.0 code with EA-owned assets.
This article compares two open-source projects that solve AI hand-drawn style drift: handraw-style offers 326 numbered styles, 161 layouts, and 36 colors for rapid exploration, while hand-drawn-styles provides 19 verified recipes with anchor validation and a three-stage workflow for reproducible production.
