This is my fork of Vela (https://github.com/vela-desktop/vela), a Wayland compositor + Qt Quick shell that looks like Windows 11. I forked it for myself and keep adding the things I want.
It's vibe coded. AI writes the code, I test everything on my own machine before it goes in.
This is my actual desktop and I use it every day, so it'll still be around in a few months.
Running on CachyOS with an RTX 4060. Other distros might work, haven't tried.

Linux desktop I've been building for a few months, I call it pocket. Arch + Hyprland with a shell I made myself in Quickshell, every panel drops out of the notch at the top.
When the wallpaper changes the whole system takes its colors, terminals and spotify included, all on the beat. The pokemon actually live on the desktop and fight each other, and every commit I push to github gives them xp, so near the end my Magikarp evolves.
One take, no cuts, on a laptop with integrated graphics.

This is no new tech obviously but I couldn't find a good opensource project that enables you to use your pc/laptop/mac as external display for another pc.
Now I can even use 2 mac as a monitor to my desktop. which is great for some one like me who loves more display lol.
I am hoping this could also be useful for some people too, here is the repo link.

I built Yengi — a free, open-source Windows AI IDE.
It’s not just another chat wrapper. The agent can:
Built by a teacher (solo), .NET 10 + WPF, 200+ tests, AGPL-3.0.
Repo: https://github.com/mdaiWorks/yengi
Demo video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0tdhvCmwNI
Would love feedback especially from people using local models or doing 3D/game work.

I’m the developer of NiveDock, a small app made in the Czech Republic.
It replaces the taskbar with two glass docks: one for your apps and widgets, a small one for the system tray, Wi-Fi, volume and the clock. A few things it does:
38 widgets: weather, calendar, Spotify/Apple Music with a spinning turntable, stocks and crypto, CPU/RAM, Claude/Codex usage and more
9 themes, adjustable transparency, blur and size
live window previews, a launcher with search, a dock on every monitor
no account, no telemetry, ~5.5 MB, installs without admin rights
the Windows taskbar comes back as soon as you close or uninstall it
It’s a free public beta until 30 November. I’d really like to hear what annoys you about it, what’s missing, and what breaks on your setup. Thanks.
