Chinese Independent Developer

Chinese Independent Blogs is a curated directory of Chinese-language independent blogs, covering programming, technology, science, business, culture, lifestyle, and other subjects. The list records each blog's name, URL, RSS feed, and tags, and is ordered partly according to RSS-service subscription data. It defines an independent blog as one with its own domain and original content. Contributors maintain the directory by adding entries to the source CSV and submitting pull requests; the README is generated automatically after changes are merged.

HelloGitHub is a curated publication and directory of interesting, beginner-friendly open-source projects on GitHub. It publishes a monthly issue on the 28th, covering open-source projects, books, practical projects, and enterprise projects. The project is maintained in the 521xueweihan/HelloGitHub repository and is also available through its website and public account. Its work is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-NoDerivatives 4.0 International license.

Reference is a maintained collection of technical quick-reference cheat sheets for developers, covering programming languages, frameworks, command-line tools, package managers, databases, network devices, software-development tools, IDE shortcuts, and general references such as HTTP status codes and character entities. It is based on an English Reference collection and extends it with Chinese-language material. The repository accepts contributions and corrections through pull requests, and its generated web version can be deployed from the gh-pages branch, with Docker and Netlify deployment options documented. It is licensed under the MIT License.

Mr. Mak Workspace is a local Windows desktop workspace for Codex CLI and Claude Code CLI. It combines real CLI chats with a project workspace for folders, research, images, files, Markdown documents, project reports, and saved project materials. The application provides chat history and tabs, agent activity indicators, file and folder insertion, project cards, previews for media files, and a right rail for project skills, knowledge, workflows, MCP connections, settings, and help. The repository includes fourteen project skills covering areas such as planning, handoffs, image references, media generation, Three.js, Blender, video inspection, and dictation. It can also provide an optional voice coordinator using Codex CLI and an OpenAI API key; external providers and MCP connections are optional and use the user's own accounts. The Windows installer includes the local Node service but does not bundle the supported CLIs or provider accounts. The native application targets Windows x64, while browser report previews can run elsewhere. Application code and original workflow documentation are MIT-licensed, with third-party skill materials retaining their original licenses.

cairn is a self-hosted directory page for people who use services hosted by someone else, rather than an administration dashboard. It presents tools grouped by purpose with welcome notes, one-sentence descriptions, optional detail pages, service-status indicators linked to status pages, lifecycle labels, browser-language selection with a manual switcher, and search across names, descriptions, and tags. Its server performs status polling so visitors' browsers do not, and features degrade without JavaScript. Operators configure it with a read-only YAML file that applies changes live and reports configuration errors with the file, line, and expected shape. It is distributed as a static binary with no runtime dependencies or database, can serve legal pages written in Markdown, and supports deployment on a domain, subdomain, or sub-path. The interface includes responsive, keyboard-friendly, multilingual, right-to-left, and stated WCAG AA-oriented accessibility features.
