Java JWT
Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT)
A Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT) - RFC 7519. This library requires Java 8 or higher. The last version that supported Java 7 was 3.11.0. The library implements JWT Verification and Signing using several algorithms. The Algorithm defines how a token is signed and verified. It can be instantiated with the raw value of the secret in the case of HMAC algorithms, or the key pairs or KeyProvider in the case of RSA and ECDSA algorithms. Once created, the instance is reusable for token signing and verification operations. When using RSA or ECDSA algorithms and you just need to sign JWTs you can avoid specifying a Public Key by passing a null value. The same can be done with the Private Key when you just need to verify JWTs. -

Omnom
A web content preservation service
Omnom is a self-hosted content preservation and web bookmarking platform that lets individuals and communities save and archive web content in a way that reflects exactly what they saw in their browser at the moment of capture. Unlike simple bookmark lists, Omnom makes full page snapshots — including dynamic content — so that saved pages remain viewable even if the original goes offline or changes later. It was built with a multi-user web interface and includes support for federated social protocols like ActivityPub, allowing integration with decentralized networks and community tools. The application lets users categorize, tag, and search saved content, aggregate RSS/Atom feeds, and review changes between captured snapshots with diff views. A browser extension for Chrome and Firefox makes it easy to add new bookmarks and initiate snapshots directly from your browsing session. -

Laravel Cookie Consent
Make your Laravel app comply with the crazy EU cookie law
All sites owned by EU citizens or targeted towards EU citizens must comply to a crazy EU law. This law requires a dialog to be displayed to inform the users of your websites how cookies are being used. You can read more info on the legislation on the site of the European Commission. The newest Laravel package made by my colleagues at Spatie and myself makes your app compliant with that law. When the user clicks "Allow cookies" a laravel_cookie_consent cookie will be set and the dialog will be removed from the DOM. On the next request Laravel will notice that the laravel_cookie_consent has been set and will not display the dialog again. The legislation is pretty very vague on how to display the warning, which texts are necessary, and what options you need to provide. This package will go a long way towards compliance, but if you want to be 100% sure that your website is ok, you should consult a legal expert. -

WorkerVless2sub
Automate batch replacement to generate subscription generators
WorkerVless2sub is a dedicated subscription generator focused on providing “preferred line” subscriptions by processing VMess, VLESS, Trojan nodes, filtering and replacing automatically via a Cloudflare Worker script. The idea is you supply node lists (or use existing APIs/CSV sources) and the worker filters them by criteria like speed or reliability and then emits a subscription link for end-users. It supports deployment on Cloudflare Pages or Workers, offers configuration via variables like HOST, UUID, PATH, ADD, ADDAPI etc., and has an Apache-2.0 license. The tool supports both IPv4 and IPv6 node sources, speed test CSV inputs, and logic to drop nodes that don’t meet the threshold (DLS variable). It has a sizeable star count and forks indicating broader adoption in self-hosted proxy subscription communities. The README also explicitly warns about hosting personal private nodes in the script if intending public use. -

Amazon DynamoDB Session Store
Handles sessions for Ruby web applications using DynamoDB as a backend
The Amazon DynamoDB Session Store handles sessions for Ruby web applications using a DynamoDB backend. The session store is compatible with all Rack-based frameworks. For Rails applications, use the aws-sdk-rails gem. The session store is a Rack Middleware, meaning that it will implement the Rack interface for dealing with HTTP request/responses. This session store uses a DynamoDB backend in order to provide scaling and centralized data benefits for session storage with more ease than other containers, like local servers or cookies. Once an application scales beyond a single web server, session data will need to be shared across the servers. DynamoDB takes care of this burden for you by scaling with your application. Cookie storage places all session data on the client side, discouraging sensitive data storage. It also forces strict data size limitations. DynamoDB takes care of these concerns by allowing for a safe and scalable storage container with a much larger data size limit. -

Koa-OAI-Router
Koa Router, based on OpenAPI, Swagger and Json Schema
I have used Markdown and wiki to manage API doc, from which I have suffered a lot. It wastes too much time and is very boring. The document should be repaired when you change the API. It's very inconvenient to test and debug. The management of API doc totally depends on people. As a result, it is hard to make documents have high quality. Meanwhile, the developers will spend more time on testing, which may have a bad effect on the project. -
