Fraidycat is an app for Linux, Windows or Mac OS X which can be accessed from a local browser or a Tor onion site - and is a tool that can be used to follow folks on a variety of platforms. But rather than showing you a traditional 'inbox' or 'feed' view of all the incoming posts - Fraidycat braces itself against this unbridled firehose! - you are shown an overview of who is active and a brief summary of their activity.
Fraidycat attempts to dissolve the barriers between networks - each with their own seeming 'network effects' - and forms a personal network for you, a personal surveillance network, if you will, of the people you want to monitor. (It's as if the Web itself is now your network - imagine that.)
There are no fancy algorithms behind Fraidycat - everything is organized by recency. (Although, you can sort follows into tags and priority - "do I want to track this person in real-time? Is this a band that I am only interested in checking in on once a year?") For once, the point isn't for the tool to discern your intent from your behavior; the point is for you to wield the tool, as if you are a rather capable kind of human being.
Proxmark3 is the swiss-army tool of RFID, allowing for interactions with the vast majority of RFID tags on a global scale. Originally built by Jonathan Westhues, the device is now the goto tool for RFID Analysis for the enthusiast. Iceman repository is considered to be the pinnacle of features and functionality, enabling a huge range of extremely useful and convenient commands and LUA scripts to automate chip identification, penetration testing, and programming.

This is a ZIM archive reader for browser extensions or add-ons, developed in HTML5/Javascript. You can get the extension from the Mozilla, Chrome and Edge extension stores (search for "Kiwix", or click on a badge below). There is a version implemented as an offline-first Progressive Web App (PWA) at https://moz-extension.kiwix.org/current/, primarily intended for use within the Mozilla Extension.
Once you have obtained an archive (see below), you can select it in Kiwix JS, and search for article titles. No further Internet access is required to read the archive's content. For example, you can have the entire content of Wikipedia in your own language inside your device (including images and audiovisual content) entirely offline. If your Internet access is expensive, intermittent, slow, unreliable, observed or censored, you can still have access to this amazing repository of knowledge, information and culture.
The reader also works with other content in the OpenZIM format: https://wiki.openzim.org/wiki/OpenZIM.
yarr (yet another rss reader) is a web-based feed aggregator which can be used both as a desktop application and a personal self-hosted server. It is written in Go with the frontend in Vue.js. Local storage is backed by SQLite.
In order to get raw parsed data out of a magstripe reader, we first experiemented with a MAGTEK Centurion Keyboard Encoder (PN-21073062). We found that although we could get all 3 tracks of data, it was not possible to have it parsed out. We then purchased a raw magstripe decoder head with track 1 reading, the Omron V3A-6. By writing some parity checking code, we were able to read the raw data off of the magstripe, and parse it into output that would be 'typed out' as an emulated keyboard using a USB-enabled Teensy. An Arduino can also be used, and the data would be output as Serial which may also be useful.

MultiMail is a Blue Wave, QWK, OMEN

Human Interface Device emulator for NFC readers. Reads the chip, outputs the contents as if it were a keyboard. Designed to run as a service in the background (or more accurately, a user daemon - since it requires the current user desktop session to function). The ideal time to start the program is on login. To avoid conflicts, the application will only attempt to load once. You may have problems getting it to work after switching users unless the first user logs out completely.
Requires pcscd, Python v2.7.
A PDF reader written entirely in Javascript.
