#12xDrip+ is an unofficial and independent Android app which works as data hub and processor between many different devices.
It supports wireless connections to G4, G5, G6, G7, Medtrum A6, Libre via NFC and Bluetooth, 630G, 640G, 670G pumps, CareSens Air and Eversense CGM via companion apps. Bluetooth Glucose Meters such as the Contour Next One, AccuChek Guide, Verio Flex & Diamond Mini as well as devices like the Pendiq 2.0 Insulin Pen.
Heart-rate and step counter data is processed from Android Wear, Garmin, Fitbit and Pebble smart-watches and watch-faces for those that show glucose values and graphs.
On some Android Wear watches, it is possible for the G5 or G6 to talk directly to the watch so it can display values even when out of range of the phone.
The app contains sophisticated charting, customization and data entry features as well as a predictive simulation model.

#13“A Hex Editor for Reverse Engineers, Programmers and people who value their retinas when working at 3 AM.”
I actually used it not too long ago to inspect why a mp4 file wasn’t valid. The pattern language that they have is quite nice and having sections of the hex highlighted and being able to see what structures they represent and what data was on those structures was very useful!

#16Small AutoIt utility scripts, such as WhyNotWin11 and other applets by similar users using AutoIt to make VB6-era -esq programs. These are always neither motivated by lofty architectural goals to “do things correctly” of many collaborative open source projects that forgot about laymen-ergonomics entirely, nor user-acquisition driven dark-pattern minefields of sluggish eye candy entirely focused on exploiting the afor…
However, while trying to dig up the repo I did find https://github.com/J2TEAM/awesome-AutoIt#awesome-autoit that may interest the same audience

I didn't see a v5 tag in order to know, and I have no idea what "utils/graphile" does for the project, but one will want to ensure they are aware of its licensing scheme https://github.com/graphile/crystal/blob/db8894c74eb0ec3fe96...

#19Only played with it for a little but it seems well designed an simpler alternative to ansible, chef and other such things.
