SSHTOOLS
Java SSH API
This project now hosts the third-generation of Java SSH API, Maverick Synergy. This API builds on the Maverick Legacy commercial APIs and delivers a new API in a unified client/server framework. This API is available to the community under the LGPL open source license. This update includes ed25519 support, support for the new OpenSSH private key file format and stronger key exchange algorithms. The project continues to host both the original API and legacy applications created around it, however, these are now considered deprecated and we do not recommend their use in anyway. -

xterm.js
A terminal for the web
xterm.js is a TypeScript-based front-end terminal emulation component that lets web applications embed fully-featured terminal interfaces. It powers in-browser terminals in tools like VS Code and browser IDEs. Xterm.js works with most terminal apps such as bash, vim, and tmux, including support for curses-based apps and mouse events. Xterm.js is really fast, it even includes a GPU-accelerated renderer. Xterm.js is not a terminal application that you can download and use on your computer. Xterm.js is not bash. Xterm.js can be connected to processes like bash and let you interact with them (provide input, receive output). -

weathr
A terminal weather app with ascii animation
Weathr is a Rust-based terminal weather application that combines utility with charm by turning your command-line interface into a dynamic, visually engaging weather display that uses animated ASCII art to show real-time conditions. Powered by the Open-Meteo weather API, it fetches up-to-date forecasts and then renders them directly in your terminal, complete with animated rain, snow, thunderstorms, flying airplanes, and day/night cycles that change with the actual weather and time of day. The app includes auto-location detection so it can determine where you are via IP or let you specify coordinates manually for precise updates anywhere in the world. It also supports a range of simulated weather scenarios that you can trigger for testing or entertainment, like simulating snow at night or falling leaves in autumn, making it both useful and delightful to run. -

portless
Replace port numbers with stable, named .localhost URLs
portless is an open source developer tool that replaces traditional localhost port numbers with stable, human-readable .localhost URLs, simplifying local development workflows for both humans and AI agents. Instead of managing multiple numeric ports and dealing with conflicts, developers can assign named local endpoints that remain consistent across sessions and services. The project is especially useful in multi-service environments where remembering and coordinating port assignments becomes cumbersome. By automating routing and naming, Portless reduces cognitive overhead and improves clarity when running several applications simultaneously. It is implemented in TypeScript and designed to integrate smoothly into modern JavaScript and Next.js development setups. -

peon-ping
Warcraft III Peon voice notifications (+ more!) for Claude Code
Peon-ping is a quirky utility that brings fun and practical voice notifications to your development workflow by using Warcraft III peon-style sound effects whenever significant events occur in your code editor or terminal. The project is built around the idea of reducing cognitive load by audibly alerting you when processes finish, tests fail, or language models complete responses, helping you stay focused without constantly watching the screen. It integrates with Claude Code, Codex, and other IDEs so that both AI-powered responses and routine command results can trigger peon voices. Because it’s implemented as a simple shell tool, it’s lightweight, easy to set up, and runs alongside your existing tools without interfering with your core development setup. Users can customize which notifications they want and how frequently sounds play, turning mundane events into amusing auditory feedback. -

Dockerlings
Learn docker in your terminal, with bite sized exercises
Dockerlings is an interactive learning tool and game that helps users learn Docker fundamentals directly in their terminal through bite-sized exercises and challenges. Designed for both beginners and developers who want a hands-on introduction to containerization, it gamifies common Docker tasks like managing images, containers, networks, and volumes so you can practice repeatedly without needing external tutorials or sandbox environments. The tool runs as a terminal application that presents interactive prompts and verifies your commands instantly, giving immediate feedback on whether you’ve completed the step correctly. Instead of reading static documentation, dockerlings turns learning into a mini-adventure where each successful command unlocks the next lesson, helping solidify understanding through practical repetition. -

ASP.NET Core API Endpoints
A project for supporting API Endpoints in ASP.NET Core web apps
It is a lightweight library that promotes building web APIs using a feature-focused endpoint pattern instead of traditional controller-based architecture. The project encourages developers to create small, single-responsibility endpoint classes that improve code clarity, testability, and maintainability in modern applications. It provides base classes and conventions that reduce boilerplate while keeping full compatibility with standard core middleware, routing, and dependency injection. The approach aligns well with vertical slice architecture and clean architecture principles, helping teams organize APIs around use cases rather than technical layers. ApiEndpoints is designed to remain minimal and non-intrusive so developers retain full control over their application structure. Overall, it serves as a productivity-focused architectural helper for building clean and scalable core APIs. -

Install Nothing
A terminal application that simulates installing things
Install Nothing is a Rust-based project is a command-line tool that simulates the output of an installation process without actually doing any real installation, letting users watch amusing fake progress screens as if packages, kernels, or desktops were being compiled and configured. Rather than running real tasks, it produces convincing terminal output that mimics the steps, logs, and scrolling messages of installation scripts, making it entertaining for demonstrations, jokes, or screensaver-style displays in terminal sessions. It’s designed for simplicity and safety, doing nothing destructive or permanent on your system while still delivering a satisfying illusion of intense computing activity. Users can configure its behavior to include or exclude specific fake stages, so the output can be tailored to the experience they want. -

Rio
A hardware-accelerated GPU terminal emulator powered by WebGPU.
Rio is a terminal application that’s built with Rust, WebGPU, Tokio runtime. It targets to have the best frame per second experience as long you want, but is also configurable to use as minimal from GPU. It also relies on Rust memory behavior, since Rust is a memory-safe language that employs The terminal renderer is based on redux state machine, lines that has not updated will not suffer a redraw. Looking for the minimal rendering process in most of the time. Rio is also designed to support WebAssembly runtime so in the future you will be able to define how a tab system will work with a WASM plugin written in your favorite language. Rio uses WGPU, which is an implementation of WebGPU for use outside of a browser and as backend for firefox’s WebGPU implementation. WebGPU allows for more efficient usage of modern GPU’s than WebGL. Applications using WPGU run natively on Vulkan, Metal, DirectX 11/12, and OpenGL ES; and browsers via WebAssembly on WebGPU and WebGL2. -
