My weekly roundup on new, trending & interesting projects. OBS Studio is a great tool for prototyping AL/ML video tools and proxying it through a virtual camera. I have a draft blog post diving deeper into its use.
OBS Studio
https://github.com/obsproject/obs-studio
OBS Studio is an open-source software application for live streaming and screen recording. It's a powerful tool that supports real-time video/audio capturing and mixing, with features for scene composition, encoding, recording, and broadcasting. The project is written primarily in C/C++ and focuses on providing high-performance, low-latency video production capabilities across multiple platforms (Windows, macOS, and Linux). It's widely used by content creators, streamers, and video producers due to its extensive plugin system and customization options.
Uptime Kuma

Uptime Kuma is a self-hosted monitoring tool designed to track website and service uptime. It provides a modern, easy-to-use dashboard that allows users to monitor HTTP(s), TCP, HTTP(s) keyword, Ping, DNS Record, and more. The repository contains a Node.js-based application with a Vue.js frontend that offers features like status pages, notification systems (supporting various channels like Telegram, Discord, email), and detailed uptime reporting. It's designed to be lightweight and can be deployed via Docker, making it accessible for personal and small business use.
Hyperswitch

Hyperswitch is an open-source payment orchestration platform that acts as a payment gateway aggregator. It provides a unified API to connect with multiple payment processors, allowing businesses to route transactions intelligently across different payment providers. The codebase is primarily written in Rust, focusing on performance, reliability, and security. Hyperswitch enables payment method optimization, smart routing, and payment fallbacks to maximize transaction success rates while potentially reducing processing costs. It's designed for businesses that want more control over their payment infrastructure while maintaining compatibility with multiple payment processors.
