00:00 Welcome back to GitHub Awesome. This is GitHub trending weekly number 54. 35 trending open source projects on GitHub right now. Let’s go. Gitea moves the heavy parts of version control onto a server, so coding agents can work on the same repository without each cloning everything. Agents fetch only the files they need, while history queries and landing changes happen centrally. You can also plug in your own conflict resolver, including an AI model. It’s an independent open source implementation

00:32 inspired by Anthropic’s Syon design. Silo puts any Mac window or your whole desktop on your iPhone or iPad. Pair a device once by scanning a code, then pick windows from a bar and control them with touch, a trackpad, a keyboard, or Apple Pencil. It works over Wi-Fi or a USB cable, and away from home through your own VPN, like Tailscale. On the folding iPhone Duo, the layout adjusts as you open and close it. Filey puts a file converter right under your cursor. Hold a key, drag your files, and drop them onto a format in

01:07 the menu that appears. It converts locally and saves results beside the originals, so your documents never need uploading. You can batch conversions or watch a folder for incoming files. Some formats need optional engines, which Filey downloads when needed. Tracely turns failed AI agent runs into regression tests you can run before merging another change. It grades production traces, groups similar failures into issues, and lets you freeze a bad run with its recorded model

01:38 responses and tool outputs. Those fixtures support repeatable tests without fresh model calls, provided your agent uses its replay integration. Snitch shows where your computer’s network traffic goes and which apps are responsible. Connections appear in a live graph and on a world map with per app bandwidth history to help explain what’s happening in the background. Traffic records stay on your machine and even IP geolocation works offline. It visualizes connections and flags suspicious patterns. Blocking traffic

02:11 still needs a separate firewall. Open screen sharing is a better client for Apple’s built-in Mac screen sharing, written in Go and Swift on top of the protocol Apple’s own screen sharing app uses. It runs on macOS, iPhone, and iPad, and it can also connect over RDP. It’s tuned for both your local network and the internet, including direct Tailscale connections, and adds exclusive mouse control and a debug HUD. Web Ocean renders a moving ocean in your browser using WebGPU with no game engine

02:45 or rendering library. Simulated waves form whitecaps, sunlight glitters across the surface, and a free camera lets you fly over the water. You can adjust wind, swell, and sun set lighting as it runs. The whole scene opens from one self-contained HTML file, though you’ll need Chrome with WebGPU and a capable GPU. Earshot gives coding agents audio feedback they can reason about. It describes sound files, finds moments matching a description, and checks how effects line up with video cuts.

03:16 An agent can also synthesize effects from code, then revise them using measurements and audio model scores. The core tools run locally on CPU through a CLI or MCP server, though those scores still need a human listening check. NetMerge combines several internet connections like Wi-Fi, Ethernet, and a phone hotspot, so your apps use all of them at once. It’s written in Go and creates a virtual network adapter with no account, no server, and no VPN.

03:46 Each new connection goes to one of your links, and faster links get more of them. If a link drops, it stops getting new connections until it comes back. Lean Rhea gives coding agents a compact guide to inspecting compiled apps with ordinary command line tools. It routes each file type to a useful first command, then narrows the search through strings, imports, or extracted code. You can trace an electron feature or check a go binary’s dependencies without an MCP server. It also tells the agent to distinguish

04:18 what it found from what it inferred. TV Vibe Hack replaces your Android TV’s cluttered home screen with a lightweight launcher built around your apps. Give it setup prompt to a coding assistant, choose your favorites, and it backs things up before disabling unwanted packages over ADB. You get a four-app dock, an app grid, and navigation designed for the remote. Packages stay installed but disabled, and a restore script brings the stock launcher back. Harness Squirt improves the setup around

04:51 an AI agent while keeping the model’s weights fixed. It proposes changes to prompts, memory, or tool guidance, tries them on the current task, and combines useful changes by comparing how the runs behaved. Lessons carry forward to later tasks. You can explore alternatives in parallel or refine them sequentially with saved execution evidence to inspect alongside the adopted configuration. Motion Prompt helps when you can picture an animation but don’t know what to call it. It pairs visual samples with names,

05:22 explanations, and example prompts across motion graphics, camera moves, UI, web effects, and photography. Browse the gallery, pick what you want, and pass those references to your coding AI. There’s also a skill for Claude Code and Codex that brings the specs and reference code into your project. Time Stroll is Mistral’s family of models for forecasting data over time with related signals predicted together. You feed it historical observations, add

05:53 information you already know about the future, and get a range of possible outcomes rather than one confident-looking number. The inference package runs on CPU or GPU, so you can try it without a dedicated graphics card. Reason network lets your coding agent message a teammate’s agent directly, even when they use different tools. A small background service on each computer shows who’s working in which repository and branch, then routes messages into the right session. It supports tools including Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor with encrypted

06:27 connections and queued messages for offline teammates. Trim 1 is a tiny model that decides which lines of a context an AI agent actually needs for its current question. It’s written in pure Go and runs on 712 gradient-boosted trees in a file of about a megabyte, not a neural network. Give it a log, a file, or a tool result along with a query, and it keeps the useful lines in their original order. It marks wherever something was cut. Yamato is a native macOS app that creates virtual displays for visual AI

07:02 agents built only on Apple’s own frameworks. Give a task its own named virtual screen, then drag an app like Blender onto it. An agent such as Codex can work there with screenshots, mouse, and keyboard while your main screen stays free. A bundled skill walks the agent through creating the screen, moving the windows, and putting them back afterward. High memory gives AI agents a memory system that separates what happened from what’s worth reusing. Its working mode stores session facts alongside lessons for future tasks.

07:35 For coding, it also keeps a chain of actual code changes, including revisions that summaries can lose. Tencent includes a Python SDK and MemHub, a desktop and command-line tool for recalling history across authorized AI apps. Opendesk brings support, email, and website chat into one shared inbox, so your team can assign conversations and see updates live. Its built-in assistant, Ollie, drafts replies and answers questions from your knowledge base with support for local

08:06 models. You can publish a help center alongside it. The self-hosted edition runs the same code as the hosted service, so you can keep support conversations on your own infrastructure. 64 HW Simulator lets you break a virtual Commodore 64 one pin at a time and watch what happens. Pull a chip, ground a signal, or disconnect a resistor, then inspect the screen and oscilloscope. The symptoms emerge from simulated board connections and chip behavior. You can explore repair hypotheses

08:37 without touching a soldering iron, though a matching symptom is only a clue, and some electrical behavior remains approximate. Binni connects an AI model to reverse engineering tools and turns binary analysis into a report you can review. It reads decompiled functions, strings, and imports, records findings, and saves progress after each step. Local Ghidra support keeps decompilation on your machine, while analysis scripts run in a restricted Docker sandbox without network access.

09:08 Frametel turns your notes, PDFs, or a single idea into an animated explainer video. Its director agent drafts a storyboard for your approval, then writes narration, generates a voiceover, and builds the animated pages. You can point at a page and ask for changes before exporting a subtitled MP4. Rendering runs locally, while the model and voice services use your own API keys. ESP32 Sim runs ESP32 firmware on your computer or in a browser, so you can test supported projects without plugging

09:41 in a board. It boots real ROMs and bootloaders with models for displays, buttons, and other peripherals. The desktop version can connect firmware to a virtual Wi-Fi network and real services. Hardware coverage varies by chip, though, and the browser version has no network passthrough. MCP for Blender Pro lets an AI assistant inspect and edit your Blender scene through chat. Ask it to arrange a product display or change materials. Then inspect the result in a viewport

10:11 preview. You can connect cloud models or local llama models and expose the same scene tools to an MCP client. Built-in chat includes operation approvals and named undo steps, so you can review changes as they happen. Lucian UX UI prompt lets you try an interface before asking your coding agent to build it. Browse interactive buttons, charts, or animated website sections, then copy a prompt containing the working code and instructions for adapting it to your project. You can also take the raw HTML, CSS, and

10:44 JavaScript yourself. The elements include light and dark themes, keyboard controls, and reduced motion support with no dependencies. Mio is a code editor written in Go that draws its interface directly on the GPU. You can split files into columns, edit with Vim motions, and stage individual changes from the gutter. A built-in uses Ghosty’s emulator. Its remote SSH mode is a useful detail. The file explorer, Git, and search run on the remote host through your system’s SSH with nothing extra installed there.

11:18 Inkoos is a macOS workbench for CAD projects that are built from code powered by Claude. Open a model in 3D, click the part you want to change, and describe the change in plain words. Claude edits the project’s code and rebuilds the model, so you see the new version right away. It reads step files and runs on both Apple silicon and Intel Macs. Soma is a desktop app for designing 3D parts by talking to a coding agent built on CAD query. Describe a case, bracket, or mount, and an agent like Claude Code or Codex

11:52 writes the model as Python. Soma rebuilds it on every change. You can click, measure, or sketch on the view to point out a problem and send that back to the agent. It checks overhangs and wall thickness, runs strength tests, and exports to STL or step. An iPhone use is ESP32.S3 firmware that turns a small M5 stack stopwatch into an MCP server for controlling an iPhone. The board plugs into the phone over USBC and shows up as a mouse and keyboard

12:23 with assistive touch handling the pointer. Your AI client watches the screen through screen sharing, decides the next step, and calls simple tools like tap, drag, and type. Co-op Anything gives AI coding agents a playbook for adding co-op multiplayer to single-player PC games. An MCP server works out a game’s engine from its install folder and checks a directory of more than 230 co-op mods. From there, the agent either finishes an existing mod or reverse engineers the game and

12:53 builds co-op from scratch. Bots test every build with real game clients over a Steam relay, so friends can join with no port forwarding. Casa Sera starts as a flat architectural floor plan, then builds a house around you as you scroll. The drawing is a slice through the actual 3D model. Scrolling raises the cut, reveals the walls, and takes the camera through the rooms. Materials appear as you enter each space. It uses 3js with geometry built in code and falls back to images and video on

13:24 devices that can’t render it. Moro puts and databases in a desktop workspace where each page stays a markdown file in your own folder. You can open an Obsidian vault or import a Notion export, then organize pages into tables, boards, or calendars. Database values remain readable file properties, so they’re accessible outside the app, too. It works offline without an account with built-in encrypted sync between computers on the same network. The Agentic Scientist, version 3 of

13:56 Sakana AI’s AI Scientist, turns a short task description into experiments, ablations, and a written paper, all driven by coding agents. The agents propose ideas, run experiments in Docker containers, and score the results against the task’s rubric, then try again. After that come baselines, a sealed final evaluation, analysis, and the paper itself. Most peer-to-peer file tools make you trade one-time codes every single time you want to move a file. Flip flop pairs your devices once and keeps a persistent

14:28 trusted tunnel open between them. It routes transfers over Bluetooth, local Wi-Fi, or straight across the internet with automatic NAT hole punching. You can push files or clipboard text between Linux, macOS, Windows, and Android whenever you want. No repairing required. Paren is a simple 2D game engine for the D programming language. It aims for the space between a small library like Raylib and a full engine like Godot. You write one function that runs every frame, and you’re free to structure the

15:00 rest of your game however you like. It comes with pixel-perfect physics, a dialogue system, animation from texture atlases and tile maps. >> [music]
