Github Trendings

Resume Matcher

I believe it’s clear to anyone working in tech that the job market is facing unprecedented challenges. On one hand, the market is getting tighter, and companies are increasingly using AI-powered tools to filter applicants. The good old days of getting rejected by HR due to basic keyword matching are gone, now it’s AI doing it (yeah, I guess).

On the other hand, applicants are looking for ways to improve their résumés and tailor them to job postings. That’s exactly what Resume Matcher helps you do, and I’m not surprised that this kind of approach has become a top-trending GitHub repository this week.

Remote-jobs

A list of semi- to fully remote-friendly companies in and around tech.
Feel free to contribute!

Funny to see this repo trending alongside Resume Matcher — just a few weeks after Soham Parekh, a software engineer from Mumbai, went viral on social media. He was accused by Playground AI founder Suhail Doshi on X of working at multiple startups simultaneously 1[1].

TrackWeight

Want to bake cookies but lost your kitchen scale? No problem, you can now use your MacBook, thanks to TrackWeight!

Just a heads-up: the trackpad only provides pressure readings when it detects capacitance (i.e., a finger touch), so you can’t weigh objects directly without maintaining contact.

That didn’t stop me from weighing my daily dose of apricots, though — it’s summer, and I’m a simple man.

Analysis Claude Code

This repository contains a comprehensive reverse engineering research archive of Claude Code v1.0.33. Through systematic analysis of heavily obfuscated source code, the authors reveal the core architecture, implementation mechanisms, and operational logic of this modern AI programming assistant.


They have reconstructed Claude Code’s architecture, providing valuable insights into modern AI agent system engineering.

Maybe-Finance

Maybe is an app designed to help you manage your personal finances. While the project wasn’t financially sustainable, the founders made the commendable decision to open-source the code, a highly appreciated move.

ConvertX

Self-explanatory: you want to convert files but don’t want to hand over your data to shady online platforms that are probably more focused on monetizing your cookies and reselling your documents. ConvertX lets you easily deploy your own online file converter instance.

OSS Rebuild

OSS Rebuild: Open Source, Rebuilt to Last

Backed by Google, OSS Rebuild aims to strengthen trust in open source packages in a world where supply chain attacks continue to target widely used dependencies.

📝 Recent high-profile supply chain attacks have demonstrated sophisticated methods for compromising widely used packages. Each incident erodes trust in open ecosystems, creating hesitation among both contributors and consumers.

📝 Open source software has become the foundation of our digital world. From critical infrastructure to everyday applications, OSS components now account for 77% of modern applications. With an estimated value exceeding $12 trillion, open source software has never been more integral to the global economy.

📝 Understanding these scenarios and what’s at stake is a fascinating topic — I’ll likely write a longer article on it in the coming weeks.
