As a developer, who's passionate about open source, I'm constantly watching up-and-coming projects, libraries, and services.
You know the ones, that seem to have that special sauce.
I've put together a small list of what I've seen trending or expect them to in this new year.
Let's take a look at some of the most surprising and impressive projects I've come across lately.
1. Wing
Wing has developed a cloud-oriented programming language called Winglang, designed specifically to address the needs and challenges faced by cloud developers.
Combining infrastructure and runtime code in one language, with a built-in local simulator and observability & debugging console.
Wing reduces cognitive load and context switching, enabling developers to stay in their creative flow.
How Wing boosts your development:
Faster iteration cycles
Localized testing via the Wing Simulator
Deploy to the cloud by writing less code
2. Maybe
Maybe has recently open-sourced their personal finance + wealth management app
Some features include:
- Investment benchmarking
- Investment portfolio allocation
- Debt insights
3. Wstunnel
Wstunnel uses the WebSocket protocol which is compatible with http to bypass firewalls and proxies.
This allows you to tunnel whatever traffic you want and access whatever resources/sites you need.
4. Spotube
An open-source, cross-platform Spotify client compatible across multiple platforms utilizing Spotify's data API and YouTube (or Piped.video or JioSaavn) as an audio source,
eliminating the need for Spotify Premium.
Btw it's not another Electron app😉
5. Jujutsu
Jujutsu is a version control system for software projects, written in Rust.
You use it to:
get/make a copy of your code
track changes to the code
publish those changes for others to see and use.
6. Wasp
Wasp (Web Application Specification) is a Rails-like framework for React, Node.js, and Prisma.
Build your app in a day and deploy it with a single CLI command!
Quick start
No Boilerplate
No lock in
7. Refine
A React Framework for building internal tools, admin panels, dashboards & B2B apps with unmatched flexibility.
Instead of being limited to a set of pre-styled components, Refine provides collections of:
Helper hooks
Components
Providers
8. DbGate
DbGate is a cross-platform database manager, designed to be simple to use and effective when working with more databases simultaneously.
Supported databases:
MySQL
PostgreSQL
SQL Server
Oracle (experimental)
MongoDB
Redis
SQLite
Amazon Redshift
CockroachDB

9. Ivy
Ivy is an open-source machine learning framework:
Autotune your model
Convert code into any framework
Write framework-agnostic code

Hello. Everyone will come with his addition of course saying that one isn't in the list. As a Markdown lover, for me, the best tool (i've discovered end of 2023) is Quarto. OpenSource and hosted on github. github.com/quarto-dev
That's ok @cavo789 :) everyone has their own opinions.
I love Markdown as well. I see Quarto has several products in their repo, which one do you use?
Quarto-cli is a command line to convert md to pdf, html, docx, pptx, revealjs, epub, website, book and many more. Just amazing and powerfull
Hi @nathan_tarbert
I just wanted to take a moment to express my appreciation for the consistently valuable content you share. Your blogs are incredibly helpful, and I find them both insightful and informative. Thank you for your dedication to creating such quality content. It truly makes a positive impact.
I developed my website to provide an online platform that provides a suite of time-saving tools for both technical and non-technical users. It offers various tools such as a code formatter, minifier, beautifier, UUID generator, converter, text to ASCII and ASCII to text, and many more.
I would be honored if you could mention my website fireboxtools in your article. Your support means a lot.
Hi, @jimmy1995, thanks for the addition. Is fireboxtools open source?
Hi @nathan_tarbert , Yes, Fireboxtools is open source.
If you're building with generative AI, you will want to checkout AIConfig - a local playground for models from OpenAI, HuggingFace, Google, and more.
The playground can be extended to work with both local and remote models.

This is a very nice list!, I got to discover Refine. It really looks like a very versatile framework, I would try it out, and see how it looks
Thanks for the great feedback.
You should check out Refines awesome list :)
Thank you, will definitely check it out
A very nice list, and thanks for mentioning Wasp! Btw, how did you create those cool animated banners?
Thanks for your feedback @matijasos!
Happy to include Wasp :)
The banners were created and sized in Canva.
Nice list, I barely knew any of those tools!
Thanks, Christian!
I look through GitHub's trending list almost daily and found most on the list!
I am unable to gain much skills which is making me ready for contributing to these big codebases. I mean is the general programming, DSA all being required here?
HI @x03rishabh20x, generally in open source there are many ways you can contribute, including docs etc.
With Wing, we have hundreds of GitHub Issues at every level so we would love you to check it out and see if it's a good fit.
Join our Community, we have a very active core that is willing to help out.
Trying the tutorials for wing, jujutsu, and ivy next week. Looks awesome. :)
Awesome @debadyuti, I can't wait to hear your feedback!
Thanks Nathan!
❤️ @shaiber
Ooh, good list. And great people behind these, too. Excited to see what happens with companies like Ivy in 2024!
Thanks @annaredbond, I appreciate the feedback.
Yes, Ivy caught my eye as well :)
Nice List, love the style
Thank you @ekeren, I appreciate that.
I have built a golang framework for all SaaS needs. It contains most of what is needed to get started to build a SaaS platform. Checkout at github.com/m3rashid/awesome
