StabilityMatrix
Multi-Platform Package Manager for Stable Diffusion
StabilityMatrix is a project that helps organize, evaluate, and compare generative AI models and their behavior across prompts, datasets, or configuration settings. It provides a framework to run experiments systematically—capturing inputs, model configurations, outputs, and metrics—so researchers and practitioners can reason about differences in quality, robustness, and failure modes. The repository often bundles tooling for automated prompt sweeping, scoring heuristics (such as diversity, coherence, or task-specific metrics), and visualization helpers to make comparisons interpretable. This approach is useful for model selection, prompt engineering, and benchmarking new checkpoints against baseline models under reproducible conditions. By turning ad-hoc tests into tracked experiments, StabilityMatrix reduces bias, surfaces subtle regressions, and accelerates iteration when tuning generative systems. -

CodeIgniter
Open Source PHP Framework (originally from EllisLab)
CodeIgniter is a lightweight PHP web framework that focuses on simplicity, performance, and minimal configuration to get started quickly. It adopts an MVC-style or loosely structured approach depending on developer preference, with core components for routing, input handling, output views, and database abstraction. The framework provides convenience libraries for sessions, form validation, encryption, email, file uploads, and more, all optional so the footprint stays small. Because it doesn’t force heavy conventions, CodeIgniter is flexible for both small projects and larger modular applications where you may want to craft your own architecture.

ProGuard
ProGuard, Java optimizer and obfuscator
ProGuard is a free shrinker, optimizer, obfuscator, and preverifier for Java bytecode. It detects and removes unused classes, fields, methods, and attributes. It optimizes bytecode and removes unused instructions. It renames the remaining classes, fields, and methods using short meaningless names. ProGuard can be run as a task in Gradle. Before you can use the proguard task, you have to make sure Gradle can find it in its class path at build time. One way is to add the following line to your build.gradle file which will download ProGuard from Maven Central. ProGuard works like an advanced optimizing compiler, removing unused classes, fields, methods, and attributes, shortening identifiers, merging classes, inlining methods, propagating constants, removing unused parameters, etc. -
