From the README:

Hexdump is designed to replace the standard Hexdump command. If you feel uncomfortable replacing it, simply rename the binary to something else.

Features

• ASCII sidebar
• Skipping bytes
• Specified length
• Multiple formats
• Colored output
• Output to file

Zigar is a software tool set that lets you utilize Zig code in your JavaScript project.

From the README:

JSON library for inspecting arbitrary values. Optionally accepts trailing commas.

From the blog:

Sometimes, programming projects are too easy and boring. Sometimes, they're too hard, never ending or producing subpar results.

This past week I had the pleasure of completing a project that felt like maximum difficulty - only possible because I am at the top of my game, using a programming language designed for making perfect software. This problem threw everything it had at me, but I rose to the challenge and emerged victorious.

What a rush.

In this blog post I'll dig into the technical implementation as well as provide the Zig Progress Protocol Specification.

From the README:

Auto-generated Zig bindings for the sokol headers.

For Zig version 0.12.0 and 0.13.0-dev

In case of breaking changes in Zig, the bindings might fall behind. Please don't hesitate to ping me via a Github issue, or even better, provide a PR :)

Support for stable Zig versions is in branches (e.g. zig-0.12.0), those versions are 'frozen in time' though.

From the README:

An effortless command-line argument parser for Zig.

Features

• Zero allocations.
• Declaratively define your command as a plain Zig type.
• Single-function API.
• Multi-level subcommands.
• Automatic help message generation at comptime.

From the README:

• Simple to use: Minimal and customizable keymaps with vim binding support.
• Image Previews: Preview images with Kitty terminal.
• File Previews: Preview contents of files directly in the terminal.
• Configurable Options: Customize settings via an external configuration file.

From the README:

Zig currently does not have a built-in, general purpose Set data structure at this point in time. Until it does, try this!

Rationale: It may be common knowledge that a dictionary or map or hashset can be used as a set where the value is basically void. While this is true, there's a lot to think about in terms of supporting all the common set operations in a performant and correct way and there's no good reason why a common module for this can't exist. After studying the Zig stdlib, I'm hoping this implementation can fill that gap and provide some value.

From the README:

This library is a friendly refactor of TigerBeetle's flags module that adds support for:

• subcommand specific help messages; and
• short options (-k=v).

For the future of plugin development

Goals

• Dead-simple plugin development. Write <= 100 lines of code and have a runnable blank-slate plugin.

• Ideally only require Zig as a toolchain dependency, not as a programming language. You should be able to write plugins in C/C++/whatever and easily link that code to Arbor via a C API and the Zig build system.

  • Could also have a get_zig.sh that will download latest stable Zig if you don't already have it

• Easy cross-compilation. Compile to Mac/Linux/Windows from Mac/Linux/Windows, batteries included.

• Cross-platform graphics. A simple software renderer (like Olivec), but also native graphics programming, potentially using something like sokol, or making a thin wrapper around Direct2D/CoreGraphics for cross-platform graphics abstraction, giving the programmer a simple choice with little-to-no platform-specific considerations.

• Simple, declarative UI design. Possibly with the option of using a custom CSS-like syntax (or Ziggy) to declare, arrange, and style UI widgets at runtime or compile-time, all compiling to native code--not running in some god-forsaken web browser embedded in a plugin UI 🤮

Have:

• A nice abstraction layer over plugin APIs which should lend itself nicely to extending support to other APIs

• Easy comptime parameter generation

• Basic CLAP audio plugin supporting different types of parameters, sample-accurate automation

• A janky VST2 implementation that works in Reaper and mostly works in other DAWs

• Simple, portable software rendering using Olivec and a custom text rendering function with a bitmap font

From the README:

Ly is a lightweight TUI (ncurses-like) display manager for Linux and BSD.

[...]

Ly should work with any X desktop environment, and provides basic wayland support (sway works very well, for example).

From the README:

A Zig wrapper around md4c for parsing Markdown.

Exposes a single function that puts a parser type together from comptime-known Zig functions. The generalisation to using vtables is left as an exercise to the user.
