For me, I've recently discovered just how many great Ruby libraries Andrew Kane maintains....

ankane.org/opensource

I've already used several of these and we use some on DEV, but it was great to learn about some ones I had not seen before.

npmjs.com/package/pta - minimalistic (and very fast) js test runner. When Jest is too much, pta seems cool. :)

Also, a little bit niche, but alpine.js - npmjs.com/package/alpinejs - Alpine.js offers you the reactive and declarative nature of big frameworks like Vue or React at a much lower cost.

This is pretty niche, but I think ZigGBA is cool. It's a very-WIP brand new SDK for making Gameboy Advance games with the Zig programming language.

In a similar vein, this GameBoy emulator written in Elm is highly impressive: elmboy.

I've never even owned a GameBoy product myself, I couldn't tell you why I'm so fascinated by these.
