Repo Roundup July 14th

Pangolin

https://github.com/fosrl/pangolin

Pangolin is a self-hosted tunneled reverse proxy that connects isolated networks through encrypted tunnels without opening firewall ports. Built around a custom WireGuard client called Newt, it provides centralized authentication with SSO support, role-based access control, and automated SSL certificates via LetsEncrypt.

The project positions itself as a self-hosted alternative to Cloudflare Tunnels, offering full infrastructure control while handling HTTP/HTTPS and raw TCP/UDP services. It includes load balancing, TOTP authentication, temporary share links, and supports external identity providers like Authentik and Keycloak. The system can extend functionality through existing Traefik plugins and automatically configures CrowdSec for additional security.

Folo

https://github.com/RSSNext/Folo

Folo is a cross-platform feed reader designed to organize content from multiple sources into a single timeline. The project aims to cut through information noise by providing distraction-free browsing with features for sharing lists and exploring content collections.

Currently in active development, Folo supports iOS, macOS, Windows, and Linux through various distribution methods including direct downloads, package managers, and community-maintained installations. The project markets itself as an "open information playground" for both casual users and developers looking to manage their content consumption more effectively.

12 Factor Agents

https://github.com/humanlayer/12-factor-agents

The 12-factor agents project outlines engineering principles for building production-ready LLM-powered software, drawing inspiration from the classic 12-factor app methodology. Created by Dex, who has experience with various agent frameworks, the guide argues that most successful AI agents are primarily deterministic code with strategic LLM integration rather than the "prompt + tools + loop" pattern.

The 12 factors cover topics like owning your prompts and context window, treating tools as structured outputs, unifying execution and business state, and making agents stateless reducers. The project challenges the framework-heavy approach to agent development, suggesting that modular concepts from agent building can be incorporated into existing products more effectively than greenfield rewrites.
