Pumpkin: High-Performance Minecraft Server Written in Rust

Pumpkin is a Minecraft server implementation written entirely in Rust, designed to deliver high performance and efficiency through multi-threading. It aims to support the latest Java and Bedrock versions while strictly adhering to vanilla game mechanics. The project emphasizes security by mitigating known exploits and offers deep configurability for disabling unnecessary features.

  • Built in Rust for superior concurrency and memory safety compared to JVM-based servers.
  • Targets vanilla compatibility for both Java and Bedrock editions.
  • Focuses on disabling bloat and securing against common server exploits.
  • Currently pre-1.0.0, so expect breaking changes during heavy development.

Kronos: Open-Source Foundation Model for Financial K-Line Sequences

Kronos is a decoder-only foundation model pre-trained on candlestick data from over 45 global exchanges, treating financial markets as a language. It is specifically designed to handle the high-noise characteristics of K-line sequences, distinguishing it from general-purpose time-series foundation models. The project recently accepted by AAAI 2026 and includes released scripts for fine-tuning on custom tasks.

  • Decoder-only architecture optimized for the 'language' of financial K-line sequences
  • Pre-trained on data from 45+ global exchanges to capture diverse market dynamics
  • Fine-tuning scripts released to adapt the model for specific financial tasks
  • Addresses high-noise challenges where general time-series models may underperform
  • Open-source initiative accepted by AAAI 2026 for further validation

Instatic: Self-hosted visual CMS on Bun for static sites

Instatic is an open-source, self-hosted alternative to Webflow and WordPress that runs on a single Bun server. It combines a visual editor, content management, and static site generation into one unified application. The tool aims to eliminate the complexity of assembling separate headless CMS, hosting, and CDN services by providing an all-in-one stack.

  • Consolidates visual editing, content engine, and publisher into a single Bun server process.
  • Outputs clean, readable static HTML pages suitable for direct deployment.
  • Includes built-in user management, roles, plugins, and database capabilities.
  • Targets engineers seeking to reduce vendor lock-in and operational overhead.
