Side Fun Project - Forward2 A URL ShortenerRepo: https://github.com/loujr/forward2 Forward2 is a url shortener that takes long links and makes them shorter similar to any service you would find online. Everyone aspires to have living, useful code. I wanted to make my barrier of entry very low. This started out as a simple print to file minimal viable project and has ballooned to increasingly complex functionality. This project now utilizes two separate python services one to generate short links and the other to redirect you to the correct page. I have split the components to an API with the option of adding UI elements later. This is further integrated with another project you can find on my profile called MikeTysonBot. I am a GitHub Staff member who works in our Ecosystems Teams. My speciality is API and integration hence why this program has API components. My goal is to work more on our platform development and continue to contribute code to our monolith. |

I've a little project that showcases the GitHub API's. It's called The Power it's useful for teaching, learning and demonstrating how GitHub's API's work. The idea is to keep things simple by demonstrating an API endpoint in a single script such as create-repo.sh |

chessapi4jHi! I started this project last year and have been improving it, fixing errors and bugs along the way. This year, I picked it up again and made several improvements. It is a Java library that allows you to work with chess-related operations. The library includes features like verifying legal positions and legal moves, working with PGN files, generating legal moves from a given position, and handling FEN strings. Since chess is a game, many natural abstractions arise. Developing a relatively fast move generator was particularly challenging (I believe Java can't offer much more speed), while also ensuring it passed the standard unit tests for a move generator. The library includes many features, and perhaps I'm not doing a good job of describing them all. I am just an amateur programmer, and I wrote this library because I wanted to create a server for an online chess website. As I started, I realized it was better to develop it as a separate project from the server, and then I realized it didn't have to be proprietary software, so I decided to share it, which led me to GitHub in the first place. |

Hello, community. I recently made a GitHub Bot named OctoPaji (refers to Github's Octo and Paji is Indian, Punjabi term meaning brother).
I am thinking of adding more. You can checkout the project in OctoPaji - GitHub Bot in GitHub Marketplace. Shoutout to @ThisIs-Developer for guiding me on the GitHub Marketplace Publishing Issue. You can also checkout more of projects in my GitHub profile. Thanks for your attention. |

fan_control (https://github.com/TarikTornes/fan_control)Hey everyone I am an undergrad student from Luxembourg and I am new to the OpenSource world and to C and therefore decided to create a small project which is a daemon called fan_control. It started when I wanted to build my own little DIY homeserver with a Raspberry Pi 4B, and decided to cool it with a small cooling system which uses a fan. It bothered me that the only option was to run it permanently on full speed, so I decided to build my own little project in order to fix my issue and improve my C knowledge by coding a small daemon which checks the temperature of the Raspi and adjusts the fan speed according to the temperature. I am sharing it with you to hopefully get feedback and suggestion according to my style of coding, efficiency and everything about creating a OpenSource project, since I am quite new to this. Feel free to give me feedback of any kind, wether it is a comment below or as an issue on my repo. PS: You can also give feedback to my other repos. |

Repo: https://github.com/gake572/airguard About my project: AirGuard is a crowdsourced, real-time air-quality monitoring and forecasting platform. It lets anyone deploy low-cost PM2.5/NO₂/O₃ sensors, stream data via MQTT or HTTP webhooks, and visualize hyper-local pollution on an interactive Leaflet map. Under the hood, a TimescaleDB time-series database powers historical queries, and Prophet-based ML forecasts generate 24-hour pollution predictions with uncertainty bands. Special Features & Challenges:
About Me!: I’m a Data Engineer building environmental sensing platforms in my free time. I joined GitHub to collaborate on real-world data challenges and share the end-to-end code that powers IoT-to-dashboard workflows. My goal is to make high-quality air-quality insights accessible to every community—and to learn more about scalable real-time systems along the way! Thank you sooooo much, please feel free to reach out!! |

Hello All, A Lightweight, Auditable Framework for Categorizing Consumer Communications in Restricted Environments Overview: This project introduces a lightweight, auditable framework for classifying consumer communications using a structured keyword-driven approach. It’s built to thrive in environments with high data confidentiality and tooling restrictions—primarily using Microsoft Excel as the base platform. No code, no external dependencies, just logic, rigor, and practical design. Motivation: Manual interpretation of unstructured consumer correspondence can be inconsistent and error-prone, especially in regulated domains. When access to advanced tooling is restricted, teams need scalable, interpretable systems that don't compromise on quality or auditability. This framework: Core Components Visual Illustrations: Sample logic sheets demonstrate: Applicability: Roadmap: Contribution: |

I'm excited to share my first project stemming from webpage authoring: SVG Spritesheet Builder! It's a simple web app for creating SVG spritesheets from uploaded images, supporting PNG, JPG, SVG, WEBP, and AVIF formats. With intuitive drag-and-drop uploading, you can easily add your images and choose between custom sizing or preserving original dimensions for pixel-perfect results. The app lets you configure options such as size, spacing, columns, and sprite naming, and generates optimized SVG spritesheets with clean code—all processed client-side for privacy and accessibility. The app provides a real-time preview as you build, making it even easier to fine-tune your spritesheet before downloading. Feedback and contributions are welcome! |

🔥 Have you already shared your project here in the Spotlight? That’s awesome but why stop there? 👉 Right now, GitHub is running the Zero to Merged contest. It’s your chance to showcase how you’re using GitHub tools (Copilot, Actions, Projects, and more) to build faster and smarter. ✨ Imagine this: your project featured on GitHub channels, and if you win the grand prize… you’ll be presenting LIVE on the GitHub Universe keynote stage (yes, travel included!). But here’s the catch: the contest closes at the end of this week. If you’ve already put your project in the Spotlight, you’re exactly the kind of builder Zero to Merge is looking for. 🚀 Don’t just Spotlight your work! Put it on the Universe stage. Submit your project today! |

Hey there!: https://github.com/EfficiencySimplicity/CRV-Playground I made this repository mostly to present my creation out on Github. It's a method (and tools) for creating word vector representations that actually make sense, and work pretty well --It's actually taught me things about English that I didn't know before :) The repo is a bit of a mess, and I can't seem to make the code (or readMe) seem real professional :/ but the system is pretty self-explanatory, and fun to play with. I'm trying to get a prediction model set up sometime soon, and see how that works out. Love to hear any feedback, especially feedback related to organization!
