libjpeg-turbo
SIMD-accelerated libjpeg-compatible JPEG codec library
libjpeg-turbo is a JPEG image codec that uses SIMD instructions (MMX, SSE2, NEON, AltiVec) to accelerate baseline JPEG compression and decompression on x86, x86-64, ARM, and PowerPC systems. On such systems, libjpeg-turbo is generally 2-6x as fast as libjpeg, all else being equal. On other types of systems, libjpeg-turbo can still outperform libjpeg by a significant amount, by virtue of its highly-optimized Huffman coding routines. In many cases, the performance of libjpeg-turbo rivals that of proprietary high-speed JPEG codecs. libjpeg-turbo implements both the traditional libjpeg API as well as the less powerful but more straightforward TurboJPEG API. libjpeg-turbo also features colorspace extensions that allow it to compress from/decompress to 32-bit and big-endian pixel buffers (RGBX, XBGR, etc.), as well as a full-featured Java interface. -

rtabmap
RTAB-Map library and standalone application
RTAB-Map (Real-Time Appearance-Based Mapping) is a RGB-D, Stereo and Lidar Graph-Based SLAM approach based on an incremental appearance-based loop closure detector. The loop closure detector uses a bag-of-words approach to determine how likely a new image comes from a previous location or a new location. When a loop closure hypothesis is accepted, a new constraint is added to the map’s graph, then a graph optimizer minimizes the errors in the map. A memory management approach is used to limit the number of locations used for loop closure detection and graph optimization so that real-time constraints on large-scale environments are always respected. RTAB-Map can be used alone with a handheld Kinect, a stereo camera or a 3D lidar for 6DoF mapping, or on a robot equipped with a laser rangefinder for 3DoF mapping. -

hosts
Consolidate and extend hosts files from several well-curated sources
Consolidating and extending hosts files from several well-curated sources. You can optionally pick extensions to block pornography, social media, and other categories. The unified hosts file is optionally extensible. Extensions are used to include domains by category. Currently, we offer the following categories: fakenews, social, gambling, and porn. Extensions are optional, and can be combined in various ways with the base hosts file. The combined products are stored in the alternates folder. Data for extensions are stored in the extensions folder. You manage extensions by curating this folder tree, where you will find the data for fakenews, social, gambling, and porn extension data that we maintain and provide for you. Create an optional blacklist file. The contents of this file (containing a listing of additional domains in hosts file format) are appended to the unified hosts file during the update process. A sample blacklist is included, and may be modified as you need. -

Dexie.js
A Minimalistic Wrapper for IndexedDB
Dexie was written to be straightforward and easy to learn. If you've ever had to work with native IndexedDB then you'll certainly appreciate Dexie's concise API. What good is any development tool without great documentation? Dexie is thoroughly explained, and examples are available to help you on your way. Dexie has near-native performance. Its bulk operations utilize an often-overlooked feature in IndexedDB, ignoring success callbacks when possible. Offline databases are groovy! But without keeping the database in sync with a server, you're missing a great deal. Dexie.js solves these limitations and provides a neat database API. Dexie.js aims to be the first-hand choice of a IDB Wrapper Library due to its well thought-through API design, robust error handling, extendability, change tracking awareness and its extended KeyRange support (case insensitive search, set matches and or operations). -

Surge-rules
The Surge rule set (DOMAIN-SET and RULE-SET) for the Surge for iOS
Surge-rules is a project devoted to maintaining and distributing rule sets compatible with the Surge proxy application (for macOS/iOS), intended for domain- or routing-based traffic management. Instead of manually building or maintaining Surge configuration files, users can rely on this repo to obtain up-to-date “RULE-SET” or “DOMAIN-SET” configurations that reflect community-curated lists of domains/IPs for direct access, proxying, blocking, or custom routing. Because network and domain landscapes shift over time — with new domains added, blocked, or repurposed — surge-rules offers a streamlined, shared resource so users don’t have to rebuild their rule sets from scratch. The repo formats rulesets in a way Surge expects, making installation or updating straightforward for users of the Surge client. -

FastClick
Easy-to-use library to remove click delays on browsers with touch UIs
FastClick is a simple, easy-to-use library for eliminating the 300ms delay between a physical tap and the firing of a click event on mobile browsers. The aim is to make your application feel less laggy and more responsive while avoiding any interference with your current logic. FastClick is developed by FT Labs, part of the Financial Times. Note: As of late 2015 most mobile browsers - notably Chrome and Safari - no longer have a 300ms touch delay, so fastclick offers no benefit on newer browsers, and risks introducing bugs into your application. Consider carefully whether you really need to use it. The library has been deployed as part of the FT Web App. FastClick doesn't attach any listeners on desktop browsers.
