ClashN
A clash client for Windows, support Mihomo
clashN is a Windows desktop client for the Clash networking engine, providing a graphical interface to manage proxies, rules, and profiles. It wraps the Clash core in a familiar, configurable UI so users can import subscriptions, switch nodes, and observe connections without editing YAML by hand. The app emphasizes rule-based routing, letting you combine rule providers and policy groups to steer traffic by domain, process, or destination category. System-wide proxy control, including PAC and TUN/TAP options, helps route applications that don’t natively support proxies. Logs, traffic charts, and connection inspectors make troubleshooting and optimization straightforward. For power users, granular profile editing and hot-reloading reduce the friction of iterating on configurations. -

CameraVoyeur
Windows-oriented utility to log frames from a connected camera devices
CameraVoyeur is a small Windows-oriented utility that demonstrates how to capture, preview, and possibly log frames from a connected camera device in a lightweight way. It’s set up more like an experiment or proof-of-concept than a polished end-user app, focusing on the plumbing for grabbing images from the webcam. The project shows how to access the camera stream, keep it running, and expose the captured output for later use or display. Because it’s in a regular GitHub repo and not a closed binary, you can inspect the code to see how device selection, frame acquisition, and UI/display are wired. This makes it useful for developers who want to add camera capture to a Windows tool or who need a barebones sample to build surveillance, monitoring, or computer vision toys on top of. Its value is really in being a simple, readable reference rather than a big camera suite. -

ClearScript is a library that makes it easy to add scripting to your .NET applications. It currently supports JavaScript (via V8 and JScript) and VBScript. Simple usage; create a script engine, add your objects and/or types, run scripts. Support for several script engines: Google's V8, Microsoft's JScript and VBScript. Exposed resources require no modification, decoration, or special coding of any kind. Scripts get simple access to most of the features of exposed objects and types. Full support for generic types and methods, including C#-like type inference and explicit type arguments. Exposed .NET collections support native script iteration mechanisms. Scripts can invoke methods with output parameters, optional parameters, and parameter arrays. Support for exposing all the types defined in one or more assemblies in one step. Optional support for importing types and assemblies from script code. -

CodeQL
Libraries and queries that power security researchers
CodeQL is a semantic code analysis engine that treats programs as queryable databases, enabling users to write expressive queries that identify security vulnerabilities, logic bugs, and code quality issues across large codebases. Instead of just pattern matching text, CodeQL ingests source code, builds rich representations of structure and data flow, and allows queries that reason about control flow, type systems, and interprocedural relationships. This makes it powerful not just for basic linting but for deep detection of complex security flaws like SQL injection, cross-site scripting, and taint propagation that traditional static analyzers can miss. CodeQL is used by security teams, developers, and open-source tooling to create reusable query libraries, enforce policy across repositories, and automate findings in CI/CD pipelines. -

Dynamic Data
Reactive collections based on Rx.Net
Rx is extremely powerful but out of the box provides nothing to assist with managing collections. In most applications, there is a need to update the collections dynamically. Typically a collection is loaded and after the initial load, asynchronous updates are received. The original collection will need to reflect these changes. In simple scenarios the code is simple. However, typical applications are much more complicated and may apply a filter, transform the original dto and apply a sort. Even with these simple everyday operations, the complexity of the code is quickly magnified. Dynamic data has been developed to remove the tedious code of dynamically maintaining collections. It has grown to become functionally very rich with at least 60 collection-based operations which amongst other things enable filtering, sorting, grouping, joining different sources, transforms, binding, pagination, data virtualization, expiration, disposal management plus more. -

NSubstitute
A friendly substitute for .NET mocking libraries
NSubstitute is designed for Arrange-Act-Assert (AAA) testing, so you just need to arrange how it should work, then assert it received the calls you expected once you're done. Because you've got more important code to write than whether you need a mock or a stub. It is an attempt to satisfy our craving for a mocking library with a succinct syntax that helps us keep the focus on the intention of our tests, rather than on the configuration of our test doubles. We've tried to make the most frequently required operations obvious and easy to use, keeping less usual scenarios discoverable and accessible, and all the while maintaining as much natural language as possible. There are already some great mocking libraries around for .NET, so why create another? We found that for all their great features, none of the existing libraries had the succinct syntax we were craving — the code required to configure test doubles quickly obscured the intention behind our tests. -
