System Prompts Leaks

System Prompts Leaks is a community-driven Github project dedicated to collecting and documenting system message instructions used by publicly deployed chatbots. The repository provides detailed insights into the operational parameters, behavioral directives, tool integrations, and safety frameworks that shape the behavior of AI systems. By focusing specifically on system prompts—rather than user interactions or model training data—System Prompts Leaks highlights the foundational configuration layer that determines the capabilities and constraints of AI assistants. This resource is valuable for researchers, developers, and anyone interested in understanding how AI systems are governed and customized in real-world applications.

Drawnix

Drawnix is a free, open-source whiteboard tool that offers an all-in-one collaborative canvas for mind mapping, flowcharts, freehand drawing, image insertion, and rich text editing, including support for Mermaid and Markdown imports. The project features a plugin-based architecture, separating its core drawing logic—powered by the Plait framework—from its UI components, which are built with React. This design allows for modular feature development and supports multiple UI frameworks, such as Angular, by keeping the core independent of any specific frontend technology. Drawnix leverages plugins like withFreehand, withHotkey, and withImage to extend its functionality, and integrates rich text editing through Slate.js via @plait-board/react-text. Users can export their work in PNG, JPG, or JSON (.drawnix) formats, making Drawnix a flexible and extensible solution for collaborative visual work.

GhostTrack

GhostTrack is a command-line information gathering and tracking tool designed for digital reconnaissance tasks. It specializes in tracking and collecting detailed information about IP addresses and phone numbers, making it a valuable resource for digital investigations. GhostTrack offers a range of tracking methods to help users efficiently gather comprehensive data on their targets, streamlining the process of digital information collection and analysis for security professionals and investigators.

Wren AI

WrenAI is an open-source Generative Business Intelligence (GenBI) Agent that empowers users to query databases using natural language. By leveraging Large Language Models (LLMs) within a microservices architecture, WrenAI translates user questions into precise SQL queries and automatically generates data visualizations. This makes it easy for users to extract insights from their data without needing advanced technical skills, streamlining the process of business intelligence and data analysis.

Windows Terminal

Windows Terminal is a modern, open-source terminal application for Windows that offers a powerful and customizable command-line experience. It enables users to access multiple command-line environments—including Command Prompt, PowerShell, and Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)—within a single interface. Windows Terminal features multiple tabs and panes, GPU-accelerated text rendering, custom themes and styles, Unicode and UTF-8 support, and extensive configurability through JSON settings. Additional features include a command palette, Quake mode for quick access, and customizable keybindings. The project includes Windows Terminal, Windows Terminal Preview, the Windows Console Host (conhost.exe), and shared components, providing a unified and flexible platform for developers and power users.

Bootstrap

Bootstrap is a comprehensive front-end framework that offers a wide range of pre-built CSS components, JavaScript plugins, and responsive layout systems to streamline web development. Designed with a modular architecture, Bootstrap allows developers to use its components independently or integrate them as part of a complete system, enabling flexible and efficient creation of modern, responsive websites and applications.

Algorithms - Java

Algorithms - Java is a comprehensive Github repository featuring a wide range of algorithm and data structure implementations written in Java. Designed as an educational resource, it emphasizes clarity and practical understanding over production-level optimization, making it ideal for students, educators, and anyone interested in deepening their knowledge of core computer science concepts. The repository serves as a learning tool for exploring algorithm implementations, a reference for common patterns in algorithms and data structures, a collaborative platform for contributing high-quality educational code, and a testing ground for translating theoretical concepts into practical, executable Java code.

Puck

Puck is a React-based visual editor system designed for building drag-and-drop content management interfaces. It serves as a visual page builder, enabling developers to create intuitive content editing experiences where users can compose pages by arranging reusable components through a drag-and-drop interface powered by @dnd-kit/react. Puck features a configuration-driven architecture, allowing developers to define reusable ComponentConfig objects within a central Config object. The system provides two main interfaces: the Puck component for content editing and the Render component for displaying the final content to end users. This flexible approach streamlines the creation of customizable, user-friendly content management solutions in React applications.

NoteGen

NoteGen is a cross-platform Markdown note-taking desktop application designed to help users organize fragmented knowledge into structured, readable notes with the support of AI. Built with Tauri and Next.js, NoteGen offers a lightweight, ad-free experience (with an installation package around 10MB) and supports Mac, Windows, and Linux, with plans for future iOS and Android versions. The application features multiple recording methods—including screenshots, text, illustrations, files, and links—and stores notes natively in the Markdown (.md) format for offline use. NoteGen enables real-time synchronization with private GitHub repositories and provides history tracking for version control. It integrates with various AI models such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Ollama, LM Studio, and DeepSeek to enhance the note-taking and writing process. By separating the recording and writing modules while maintaining seamless integration, NoteGen streamlines the workflow from capturing information to producing well-structured content.

TimesFM

TimesFM (Time Series Foundation Model) is a decoder-only foundation model developed by Google Research specifically for time series forecasting. Built on a transformer architecture, TimesFM introduces patched time series decoding capabilities, allowing it to deliver strong forecasting performance across a wide range of domains and time frequencies.
