What Open Source Project Has Made the Biggest Difference in Your Developer Workflow?

Open source has quietly become the backbone of modern software development. Whether it's frameworks, UI libraries, databases, developer tools, or AI SDKs, most of us rely on open source every single day.

I'm curious to know:

Which open source project has genuinely improved your productivity?
Is there an underrated project more developers should know about?
Have you ever contributed back to an open source project that you use?

Lately, I've been exploring projects like NativeBase and Gluestack UI from GeekyAnts. It's interesting to see how open source projects evolve from solving internal engineering problems into tools adopted by developers worldwide.

I'd love to discover more hidden gems. What open source project do you think deserves a lot more attention, and why?
