UAC – Unix-like artefact collector for incident response
UAC (Unix-like Artifacts Collector) is a portable incident response and forensic acquisition tool for collecting system artefacts from Linux and a wide range of other Unix-like environments.
It is particularly useful for live-response situations where an investigator needs a repeatable collection process without installing a substantial agent or resolving additional dependencies on the target system. Collection behaviour is controlled by YAML profiles and artefact definitions, allowing investigators to perform focused triage or broader forensic acquisition.
Its lightweight approach also makes UAC useful for servers, appliances, NAS systems, network devices and other environments where deploying a conventional forensic suite may be impractical.

inperiod – interactive periodic table and element reference
inperiod is an interactive periodic-table project designed to present significantly more than the basic names, symbols and atomic numbers of the chemical elements.
Its emphasis is on visualising periodic trends and providing layered information that can be useful for both exploration and education. Particular attention has been given to Chinese-language information, including element names and pinyin, and to producing layouts suitable for printing as learning and memorisation aids.
The project uses Dioxus and is designed so the same Rust codebase can target browser, desktop and mobile environments. It also aims to expose its underlying element information through a reusable Rust API.

Syft - generate Software Bills of Materials
Syft is a command-line tool for generating Software Bills of Materials from container images, filesystems and archives.
It inventories the software packages present in a target, making the resulting data useful for software supply-chain analysis, compliance work and downstream vulnerability scanning. Syft understands a broad range of package ecosystems rather than being tied to a particular programming language or Linux distribution. It can inspect local directories as well as container images and can feed its results directly into other security tooling such as Anchore’s Grype scanner.

fzf-make - fuzzy command runner for project tasks
fzf-make is a terminal user interface for finding and running project commands through fuzzy search.
Despite its name, it is not limited to Makefiles: the program can discover commands from several common task runners and JavaScript package managers, display them in an interactive list, and show a preview before execution. This gives developers a consistent keyboard-driven way to browse available project tasks without remembering every target, script or recipe name, while still executing the underlying tool rather than introducing its own task-definition format.

TVDemon - IPTV streaming application
TVDemon is an IPTV streaming application based on Hypnotix.
It provides a graphical desktop interface for watching live television, movies and series from IPTV services or playlists supplied by the user. The application has been redesigned around GTK4 and Libadwaita, with GStreamer handling media playback. TVDemon does not provide subscriptions or television channels itself; it connects to configured providers and local sources. Its workflow keeps content browsing and playback together in a single desktop application.
