BepInEx
Unity / XNA game patcher and plugin framework
Unity / XNA game patcher and plugin framework. BepInEx is a plugin / modding framework for Unity Mono, IL2CPP, and .NET framework games (XNA, FNA, MonoGame, etc.) Stable builds are released once a new iteration of BepInEx is considered feature-complete. They have the least bugs, but some newest features might not be available. Bleeding edge builds are available on BepisBuilds. Bleeding edge builds are always the latest builds of the source code. Thus they are the opposite to stable builds: they have the newest features and bugfixes available, but usually tend to be the most buggy. Therefore you should use bleeding edge builds only if you are asked to or if you want to preview the upcoming version of BepInEx. Some games require some additional changes in order to work around specific limitations of different Unity versions. -

StabilityMatrix
Multi-Platform Package Manager for Stable Diffusion
StabilityMatrix is a project that helps organize, evaluate, and compare generative AI models and their behavior across prompts, datasets, or configuration settings. It provides a framework to run experiments systematically—capturing inputs, model configurations, outputs, and metrics—so researchers and practitioners can reason about differences in quality, robustness, and failure modes. The repository often bundles tooling for automated prompt sweeping, scoring heuristics (such as diversity, coherence, or task-specific metrics), and visualization helpers to make comparisons interpretable. This approach is useful for model selection, prompt engineering, and benchmarking new checkpoints against baseline models under reproducible conditions. By turning ad-hoc tests into tracked experiments, StabilityMatrix reduces bias, surfaces subtle regressions, and accelerates iteration when tuning generative systems. -

Selenium
Browser automation framework and ecosystem
Selenium automates browsers. That's it! What you do with that power is entirely up to you. Primarily it is for automating web applications for testing purposes, but is certainly not limited to just that. Boring web-based administration tasks can (and should) also be automated as well. If you want to create robust, browser-based regression automation suites and tests, scale and distribute scripts across many environments, then you want to use Selenium WebDriver, a collection of language specific bindings to drive a browser - the way it is meant to be driven. If you want to create quick bug reproduction scripts, create scripts to aid in automation-aided exploratory testing, then you want to use Selenium IDE; a Chrome and Firefox add-on that will do simple record-and-playback of interactions with the browser. If you want to scale by distributing and running tests on several machines and manage multiple environments from a central point. -

Pixeval
Wow. Yet another Pixiv client!
Pixeval is a third-party proxy-free P station client developed by me as an amateur. The UI is implemented using Windows Presentation Foundation , based on .NET Core 3.0 , and supports Windows 7-10 (planning to cancel support other than Win10), and implements most of the The browsing function and many enhancements have been made. It has been open sourced on Github based on the AGPL protocol . The project was conceived in 2018. At that time, the api of the P station was written in Java. At that time, it could also be accessed by modifying the hosts method. After that, GFW The blocking strategy was upgraded, and DNS pollution was upgraded to SNI blocking, so I went to find information to understand the different blocking levels and blocking mechanisms of GFW. I started writing this project in the second half of 2019, which took about 3 months. (Actually, the realization of this project is partly inspired by Notsfsssf. -

reko
Reko is a binary decompiler
Reko (Swedish: "decent, obliging") is a decompiler for machine code binaries. This project is freely available under the GNU General Public License. The project consists of front ends, core decompiler engine, and back ends to help it achieve its goals. A command line, a Windows GUI, and a ASP.NET front end exist at the time of writing. The decompiler engine receives inputs from the front ends in the form of either individual executable files or decompiler project files. Reko project files contain additional information about a binary file, helpful to the decompilation process or for formatting the output. The decompiler engine then proceeds to analyze the input binary. Reko has the ambition of supporting decompilation of various processor architectures and executable file formats with minimal user intervention. For a complete list, see the supported binaries page. -

MSI Downloader
MSI installers for a wide range of software and utilities
MSI Downloader has been created for IT professionals who want a quick and easy method of downloading the latest MSI installers for various software. MSI installers are much easier to use for deployment using systems like Group Policy, Microsoft Deployment Toolkit (MDT) and Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). Some publishers happily supply MSI installers for their software, however, some are very hard to find. So this new tool will not only be providing the easy to find MSI installers, but also the hard to find ones and in some cases, the impossible to find ones - ones where we will create the MSI installers for them! The aim to keep all the MSI Installers within our utility fully up to date, but if you find something that is not, please let us know and we will correct it. -

taskt
Free and open-source robotic process automation (rpa)
taskt (formerly sharpRPA) is the first truly free, easy-to-use, and open-source process automation client built on the .NET Framework in C#. taskt allows you to build and design process automation without needing to write application code. taskt allows you to automate the boring stuff and create efficienies by giving you the power to craft a digital workforce that executes and performs rule-based automation. No API? No Problem! Included is a "what you see is what you get" bot designer with dozens of automation commands. An element recorder and screen recorder is also included that can record and replay scripted automation. taskt works by allowing a bot developer to design a bot configuration known as a script. The bot configuration is then intepreted by a script engine at run-time and executes against the bot developer's selected parameter inputs. Each command contains the definitions for the required inputs as well as the required logic at run-time. -

opencvsharp
OpenCV wrapper for .NET
OpenCV wrapper for .NET. Some Docker images are provided to use OpenCvSharp with AppEngine Flexible. The native binding (libOpenCvSharpExtern) is already built in the docker image and you don't need to worry about it. OpenCvSharp won't work on Unity and Xamarin platform. For Unity, please consider using OpenCV for Unity or some other solutions. OpenCvSharp does not support CUDA. If you want to use the CUDA features, you need to customize the native bindings yourself. Objects of classes, such as Mat and MatExpr, have unmanaged resources and need to be manually released by calling the Dispose() method. Worst of all, the +, -, *, and other operators create new objects each time, and these objects need to be disposed of, or there will be memory leaks. Despite the using syntax, the code still looks very verbose. -

Orleans
Orleans is a cross-platform framework for building distributed apps
Orleans builds on the developer productivity of .NET and brings it to the world of distributed applications, such as cloud services. Orleans scales from a single on-premises server to globally distributed, highly-available applications in the cloud. Orleans takes familiar concepts like objects, interfaces, async/await, and try/catch and extends them to multi-server environments. As such, it helps developers experienced with single-server applications transition to building resilient, scalable cloud services and other distributed applications. For this reason, Orleans has often been referred to as "Distributed .NET". It was created by Microsoft Research and introduced the Virtual Actor Model as a novel approach to building a new generation of distributed systems for the Cloud era. The core contribution of Orleans is its programming model which tames the complexity inherent to highly-parallel distributed systems without restricting capabilities or imposing onerous constraints. -
