A curated list of delightful tools for digital creatives in a variety of mediums.
Decker is a multimedia platform for creating and sharing interactive documents, with sound, images, hypertext, and scripted behavior. It draws strong influence from HyperCard, as well as more modern "no-code" or "low-code" creative tools like Twine and Bitsy. If Jupyter Notebooks are a digital lab notebook, think of Decker as a stack of sticky notes.
Decker provides a scripting language called Lil, which is easy to learn but highly expressive. Simple things are easy, and complex things are possible.
Decker understands tabular data. You can use Lil to perform SQL-like queries on tables and import or export CSV files.

Library of Alexandria (LoA in short) is a project that aims to collect and archive documents from the internet.
In our modern age new text documents are born in a blink of an eye then (often just as quickly) disappear from the internet. We find it a noble task to save these documents for future generations.
This project aims to support this noble goal in a scalable way. We want to make the archival activity streamlined and easy to do even in a huge (Terabyte / Petabyte) scale. This way we hope that more and more people can start their own collection helping the archiving effort.
Proxmark3 is the swiss-army tool of RFID, allowing for interactions with the vast majority of RFID tags on a global scale.

Designing with LibreOffice is not the usual death march through the menu and standard tasks. Instead, the book takes two fresh approaches to the world’s most popular free office suite.
First, it explains the importance of using styles and templates in order to use LibreOffice with the most convenience and the least effort. By taking advantage of styles and templates, you can concentrate on self-expression, rather than format. Later, as you edit, you can make changes more quickly and with more precision.
Second, it explains the basics of modern design and how to apply them in LibreOffice, expanding on the open secret that LibreOffice is as much a desktop publishing application as an office suite. It explains and illustrates the possible choices as you design, as well as the pros, cons, and considerations behind each choice — and, in some cases, what you should avoid altogether.
The result of these approaches is a unique overview of using LibreOffice. If you are a new user, the book will help you get up to speed with LibreOffice. If you have already used LibreOffice, then this book will leave you with a clearer overview of the program and its capabilities.
This section of the "FujiNetWiFi" Git project contains applications, demos, and sample programs for the #FujiNet device. Some applications are generic terminals, for connecting to servers (e.g., netcat and PLATO). Others are clients for talking to standard online services (like twitter and iss-tracker), or #FujiNet-specific services (like apod and news; code for some of those live at https://github.com/FujiNetWIFI/servers). Finally, others are apps or demos that exercise other parts of the #FujiNet device (e.g., appkey-sample and LiteSAM).
Generally, compiled executable programs are likely to work best if you disable built-in BASIC while booting your Atari (hold [OPTION] on XL and XE models).
Pebble is a complete modular music engine in the form of a simple text editor. Using the Pebble code language, you can create custom sounds and arrange them into full songs using a dynamic piano-roll notation.
The editor supports live playback and looping, as well as WAV export. For more information about using Pebble, see the Guide page on this site or type help in the FILE bar in the program!

When the US-based SkyHub organisation regrettably closed down in August 2021, enthusiastic former community members wanted to keep the project and the valuable exchange within the community alive. Therefore, in October 2021, we, a group of European astronomers, software developers and hardware engineers, founded Sky360 as a non-profit NGO association, registered in Austria.
We want to provide a community platform, tools and support to all people interested in observing the skies for stars, meteors, satellites, planes, drones, weather phenomena, birds, UAPs or anything else that happens in our atmosphere and low Earth orbit. We already support the Discord channel the UAP Tracking Forum for the community of UAP trackers with over 900 members and more communities to come in the future. Together with and for the community we develop hardware and software for a 24/7 citizen sky observatory that can detect, track, identify and analyze any aerial phenomena and yet is still affordable for citizens.
Experimental website to browse and search vintage computer files from archive.org. Thousands of new files are added daily!
With over 100TB in our repository, we are quite possibly the largest repository of its kind on the web!
The repository mainly contains Windows and Apple betas. These are the most popular files and are enjoyed by most of our members on the forum. We also have a games repository which has a huge selection of older and more modern game betas. We like to widen our scope a little bit too, so our repository stocks old abandonware classics from various consoles and computers from many years ago.
