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. -

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. -

It has been open sourced on Github based on the AGPL protocol . The project was conceived in 2018. At that time, the api of the P station was written in Java. At that time, it could also be accessed by modifying the hosts method. After that, GFW The blocking strategy was upgraded, and DNS pollution was upgraded to SNI blocking, so I went to find information to understand the different blocking levels and blocking mechanisms of GFW. I started writing this project in the second half of 2019, which took about 3 months. (Actually, the realization of this project is partly inspired by Notsfsssf. -

Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF)
Framework for building Windows desktop applications
Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) is a UI framework for building Windows desktop applications. WPF supports a broad set of application development features, including an application model, resources, controls, graphics, layout, data binding and documents. WPF uses the Extensible Application Markup Language (XAML) to provide a declarative model for application programming. WPF applications are based on a vector graphics architecture. This enables applications to look great on high DPI monitors, as they can be infinitely scaled. WPF also includes a flexible hosting model, which makes it straightforward to host a video in a button, for example. The visual designer provided in Visual Studio makes it easy to build WPF application, with drag-in-drop and/or direct editing of XAML markup. WinForms is another UI framework for building Windows desktop applications that is supported on .NET (6.0.x/5.0.x/3.1.x). WPF and WinForms applications only run on Windows. -

opencvsharp
OpenCV wrapper for .NET
OpenCV wrapper for .NET. Some Docker images are provided to use OpenCvSharp with AppEngine Flexible. The native binding (libOpenCvSharpExtern) is already built in the docker image and you don't need to worry about it. OpenCvSharp won't work on Unity and Xamarin platform. For Unity, please consider using OpenCV for Unity or some other solutions. OpenCvSharp does not support CUDA. If you want to use the CUDA features, you need to customize the native bindings yourself. Objects of classes, such as Mat and MatExpr, have unmanaged resources and need to be manually released by calling the Dispose() method. Worst of all, the +, -, *, and other operators create new objects each time, and these objects need to be disposed of, or there will be memory leaks. Despite the using syntax, the code still looks very verbose. -
23
Akavache
An asynchronous, persistent key-value store
An asynchronous, persistent key-value store created for writing desktop and mobile applications, based on SQLite3. Akavache is great for both storing important data as well as cached local data that expires. Downloading and storing remote data from the internet while still keeping the UI responsive is a task that nearly every modern application needs to do. However, many applications that don't take the consideration of caching into the design from the start often end up with inconsistent, duplicated code for caching different types of objects. Akavache is a library that makes common app patterns easy, and unifies caching of different object types (i.e. HTTP responses vs. JSON objects vs. images). It's built on a core key-value byte array store (conceptually similar to a Dictionary<string, byte[]>), and on top of that store, extensions are added to support Arbitrary objects via JSON.NET. -
