News Dashboard is a self-hosted technical-news inbox and AI research desk that aggregates curated RSS and Atom feeds, GitHub release feeds, Hacker News and GitHub trending feeds, and custom scraped sources into curated feeds and a ranked Today Feed. Articles can be marked new, read, saved, skipped, archived, starred, or snoozed; the application also provides source-health monitoring, ingestion history, dashboard statistics, search, reading history, a knowledge graph, and saved learning artifacts. When an AI provider is configured, it generates personalized briefings, article takeaways, context, and perspectives, and answers cited follow-up questions grounded in the collected corpus. It supports embeddings, configurable OpenAI-compatible providers, and a Google Reader-compatible synchronization API for third-party RSS clients. The application uses a Python and FastAPI backend with APScheduler, LangChain, and LangGraph; a React, TypeScript, Vite, and TanStack Query frontend; and PostgreSQL with the pgvector extension. It supports local password authentication, optional Keycloak login, and deployment through Docker, Helm, and GitHub Actions on the operator’s own infrastructure, with configuration for the database, authentication, and AI provider.

Nimbus is an open-source documentation-site scaffolder by Cloudflare that builds Astro sites directly in a repository. It writes layouts, components, styles, routes, content collections, and theme tokens as editable source files, while its plumbing is provided through npm packages. The generated sites include agent-readable Markdown and MDX page twins, llms.txt and llms-full.txt files, JSON-LD, sitemaps, robots.txt, per-page Open Graph images, full-text search, theming, accessible navigation, and optional versioned documentation. Nimbus also provides a registry for adding editable components, utilities, and agent-handoff recipes to an existing project. Sites produce static output for deployment anywhere, with Cloudflare as a first-class target, and include prose, structure, MDX, and configuration validation. The project is built on Astro, Sätteri, Tailwind, and optionally React; its README describes it as work in progress and pre-1.0.

An open-source agent skill for redesigning GitHub README homepages around a repository's actual content. It reads the repository first, identifies the clearest value and supporting proof, and then derives a project-specific visual system rather than applying a shared template. In whole-README mode, it works across content, visual-system, and engineering layers: it removes repetition and internal jargon, moves proof toward the opening, derives typography, color, composition, and project-native motifs, and keeps assets GitHub-safe, accessible, searchable, and copyable. The skill separates visual and content layers by using SVG for editable heroes, section transitions, comparisons, diagrams, and identity while retaining maintainable Markdown for searchable body text. It supports hybrid SVG compositions with optional AI-generated elements, local previews, and an approval step before publishing. The repository documents examples used by eight public repositories, including project-specific heroes and real outputs for slide creation, UI reconstruction, icon generation, agent delegation, vehicle telemetry, interactive mapping, and a solo werewolf game.

Bot Crossing is a local web application that visualizes coding-agent threads as an astronaut colony. It reads session records from installed agent harnesses on the user's machine, maps repositories to persistent hex zones, and represents sessions as astronauts whose behavior reflects states such as running, waiting, errored, merged, archived, or inactive. Selecting an astronaut or repository opens its associated thread through the owning harness, while the application can also start sessions, reveal folders, mark threads viewed, and archive them. The application uses per-harness adapters to scan local session files and merge them into a common thread model. It currently documents support for Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor, with adapters for other harnesses able to be added under `server/harnesses/`. Astronaut navigation uses a rasterized navigation grid, A* routing, string-pulling, collision handling, and crowd separation. The browser renders the colony with Three.js techniques including instanced GPU-skinned astronauts, shader-based construction progress, procedural terrain and surfaces, and configurable planets, lighting, and quality settings. Bot Crossing runs locally through a Vite development server or a built Node server, binds to loopback by default, and stores the colony layout in `data/colony.json`. It does not upload session data or use an account; it reads harness records and writes only the colony state plus the documented archive field. The repository requires Node 22.13 or newer, supports macOS, Linux, and Windows, and is licensed under MIT. Bundled Kay Lousberg assets are separately covered by CC0, while bundled Material Design Icons use Apache-2.0.
