@SunnyKev1n @aayush_naik we got Kevin "Grace Hopper" Huang

[Aayush Naik @aayush_naik]

I deployed a finance app from 1985 to a mainframe. It was fun (type 2)!

Would have been nearly impossible without the new Hopper (v1.5).

@cosmos_inst @inherent_labs @cosmos_inst I submitted my essay right at the deadline, then the form locked me out and I can't tell if it went through. Please check DMs!

@jus10chavez @modal very cool!
wanted a large scaled pixel map for so long
so happy that you scratch that off the mental backlog for me

[alex @alexgaoth]

@KommeraVik53045 yea it do be these randomest accounts

[alex @alexgaoth]

hmmm i wonder who this handsome someone is

holy sh*t, someone just mapped 12,000+ closed products you can reverse engineer today

cars, smart homes, printers, AI clients, firmware, file formats and dead online services, and most builders have no idea it's free

the drop:

→ https://t.co/NTLRt8gPW3 (28 ★ · 2 forks · 12,877 projects)
the index itself: every entry checked through the GitHub API for license, stars and status, refreshed every night, with a ready-made skill for your AI agent

→ game decompilations (3,040 projects)
decompilations, recompilations, emulators and restored engines, from shadPS4 and RPCS3 to OpenRA

→ devices, IoT & hardware (3,029 projects)
local control for smart homes, printers and wearables without the vendor's cloud

→ unofficial API clients (904 projects)
open clients for platforms that never shipped a public API

→ AI tools & LLM clients (739 projects)
reconstructed AI clients, tool definitions and OpenAI-compatible adapters for closed AI services

→ cars (520 projects)
open driver assistance, vehicle APIs and in-car systems, openpilot included

→ firmware & embedded (472 projects)
custom firmware and embedded code for devices their makers stopped updating

→ file formats (436 projects)
readers and parsers for closed formats like PSD and DWG

→ network protocols (422 projects)
open implementations of protocols that were never documented

→ online service revivals (173 projects)
replacement servers for games and services that were shut down

the formula:

search the index → clone what already exists → let REA reverse the missing piece → ship

@Gyome1_ thx for posting bro, i knew ppl needed this when i first built it

also for ppl interest check out other tools i have built: https://t.co/snuldhcrEF

[alex @alexgaoth]

@matthieufuller there is actually so much more w coming

[alex @alexgaoth]

with the popularization of reverse engineering, I indexed 12,000+ open-source tools built by reverse engineering.

no point reverse engineering something twice

and it has alr helped a few friends in their hackathons 😇

@signalor_app testimony right here 😳

Already got 40+ stars on this! Add the skill for your agent to search the index

@librendaa072 u reminded me, was planning build one for sf, doing it rn!

[alex @alexgaoth]

maps can be more intuitive nowadays

so i redrew the us where distance = actual driving hours
