   Adblock-rust Manager – Firefox extension to enable the Brave ad blocker▲95

   Firefox 149 ships adblock-rust (Brave's Rust engine, MPL-2.0) completely disabled with no UI. It's controlled by two about:config prefs with no WebExtension API, so you can't touch them programmatically from a standard extension. This extension gives it a UI: ETP toggle (via browser.privacy API, instant), filter list manager with clipboard helpers for the manual about:config steps, and 8 preset lists. You can also add your own if you so desire.

    YouTubeTLDR – A lightweight, self-hosted YouTube summarizer in Rust▲9

    There are many commercial YouTube summarizers, but I couldn't find an open-source one that truly fit my needs. So, I built YouTubeTLDR: a simple, self-hostable solution that uses the Gemini API without much bloat. I went with a synchronous approach + threading which was a nice break from Tokio. It is Bring Your Own Key, but the key is sent to the server for each request, which is something I might revise in the future. There is a demo on https://youtubetldr.onrender.com/

    AI code reviewer with Python agent called from Rust, streaming works▲6

    Built an AI code reviewer using Letta (Python) that I can call natively from Rust applications. The interesting part: real-time streaming works perfectly across the language boundary with zero hassle using RunAgent. The agent runs in Python with persistent memory, leverages the best in house agentic memory management with Letta (Pythonic AI agent framework), and my rust code just uses it (kinda) natively, though Letta has no Rust bindings. And, streaming works like magic. No FFI, no complex bridges - just native async/streaming that feels like calling any Rust librar, but without…

    Gochan – A library of channel architectures for Go, inspired by Rust▲5

    Hi All, I felt like I was re-inventing the wheel by bolting similar channel architectures onto different Go structs repeatedly so I decided to extract some common types into into one library so that they would be easier to re-use: - oneshot - spsc - spmc - mpsc - mpmc - broadcast - watch The types are inspired by Rust channels so if you're coming from Rust they should feel familiar. So far I'm really enjoying using them but it'd be great to get some external feedback if you have time! https://github.com/amorey/gochan Andres
