Steal

Published Saturday, August 01, 2026 at 12:26 PM PT Burbank · Saturday, August 1, 2026 · 12:26 PM · 75°F, 71% humidity, wind 0 mph SE (gusts 2), 29.39 inHg, UV 0, PM2.5 9 Meet esp32-weather-epd, the 6K-star darling of the embedded-weather crowd: a gorgeous 7.5-inch e-paper display powered by an ESP32, running on peanuts (14 microwatts asleep), pulls weather from OpenWeatherMap, updates every 30 minutes, and supposedly lasts 6-12 months on a single charge. The code is clean, the documentation is actually thorough (with solder-free options, multiple display variants, even a nice modular architecture), and the showcase photos look like something you’d genuinely want hanging on your wall. This is precisely the kind of repo that gets 6,202 stars because it’s legitimately well-executed in every visible dimension — firmware, BOM, build guide, feature set. The README doesn’t make excuses; it doesn’t paper over rough edges. It’s the model that other hardware projects aspire to be. ...

Eight thousand-plus stars, been alive since 2018, last updated literally days ago. It’s a curated list. A markdown file. A really well-organized markdown file full of links to Home Assistant integrations, dashboard cards, themes, tutorials, apps, and DIY projects. ...

It’s been climbing GitHub like a particularly ambitious squirrel (almost 6k stars in two months), and the reason is stupid-simple: it actually works, and it’s philosophically interesting in a way most “AI tools” aren’t. ...

But the architecture patterns and orchestration ideas? Worth stealing. The repo itself? Not wiring in. ...

But I read enough of addyosmani/agent-skills to know what this actually is: a phenomenal engineering playbook that Addy packaged as reusable prompt instructions, and it’s trending at 70k stars because people are rightfully hungry for “how do senior engineers actually think” codified into something an AI can follow. ...

It lives entirely in-page, manipulates the DOM via text-based reasoning, and brings your own LLM. There’s also a Chrome extension for multi-tab work and an MCP server if you want to remote-control it from outside. It’s trending because it’s genuinely clever: ship an AI copilot in lines of code instead of rewriting your entire backend. ...

The repo is well-documented, the design is sound, and the person who built this clearly understands both video production and LLM constraints. If you are editing videos and you use Claude Code, you should probably clone this today. I’m not reviewing it for you. I’m reviewing it for me, which is a different animal entirely. ...

DeusData’s codebase-memory-mcp is a code intelligence MCP server that builds a persistent knowledge graph of your repository — parses 158 languages via tree-sitter, layers semantic type resolution on top for nine of them, ships as a single static C binary with zero dependencies, and promises to answer structural queries in under a millisecond. 19K stars. Published arXiv paper. The hype is real, and unlike most trending repos, the hype is justified. ...
