Eagle Mode is a zoomable user interface (ZUI) with file manager, file viewers, games, and more. This project is about a futuristic style of human-computer interaction, where the user can visit almost everything simply by zooming in. It features a portable C++ toolkit API for developing such ZUIs, and it features the Eagle Mode application, which provides a virtual cosmos with plugin applications. The most important one is the professional file manager with its rich, scriptable command set. It integrates file viewers for most of the common file types, as well as an audio and video player. Furthermore, the virtual cosmos contains a chess game, a netwalk game, a 3D minesweeper game, a multi-function clock, a stock watchlist, some fractals, and a Linux kernel configurator in form of a kernel patch.

GSYVideoPlayer is a flexible, feature-rich video playback library for Android that wraps popular media engines to offer a unified, customizable API. It supports full-screen playback, small-window (picture-in-picture–style) modes, and seamless orientation changes with proper lifecycle handling. The library provides gesture controls for brightness, volume, and seeking, along with thumbnail covers, playback speed adjustment, and caching options for smoother viewing on unreliable networks. Developers can embed players in RecyclerView lists, wire custom controls, and switch underlying renderers or decoders to match device capabilities and formats. Hooks for callbacks and state listeners make it straightforward to integrate analytics, preloading, and error recovery into apps. With a modular design and extensive demos, GSYVideoPlayer serves both as a practical production player and as a reference for building polished media experiences on Android.

KinoGlitch is a compact set of video glitch post-processing effects for Unity. It ships with two primary categories: analog glitches that simulate signal imperfections like scanline jitter, color drift, vertical jump, and horizontal shake, and a digital glitch effect that produces blocky compression-style artifacts. The package is designed to be easy to drop into projects to achieve stylized, retro, or distressed looks for cameras and cutscenes. It emphasizes real-time performance and simple parameterization so you can animate intensity over time. The effects can be layered and tuned to match the mood of gameplay or cinematics. The repository’s clarity makes it a useful reference for developers learning to implement post-processing passes and stylized image effects in Unity.

Dozzle is a lightweight, self-hosted web application for real-time viewing and monitoring of container logs, focused on speed and simplicity rather than building a full log storage pipeline. Instead of indexing or storing logs, it connects to your container runtime and streams live output so you can diagnose issues as they happen. The interface includes practical quality-of-life features like fuzzy searching for containers, regex log search, split-screen viewing for multiple logs, and live stats such as CPU and memory usage. It supports more advanced analysis through an in-browser SQL query engine for querying logs, which helps when you need structured filtering without exporting data elsewhere. Dozzle also supports multi-user authentication and can integrate with proxy-forward authorization setups for deployments behind gateways. For larger environments, it can monitor multiple hosts via an agent mode and supports orchestrators like Docker Swarm and Kubernetes.
