    Nomulus

    Nomulus

    Top-level domain name registry service on Google Cloud Platform

    Nomulus is a production-grade, open-source domain registry platform used to operate top-level domains (TLDs). It implements the core registry protocols—EPP for registrar interactions, WHOIS/RDAP for public data access—and manages the lifecycle of domain objects, hosts, and contacts. The system is built to scale and to enforce policy: pricing rules, reserved names, premium tiers, grace periods, and automated renewals are modeled explicitly. It integrates with DNS provisioning, data escrow, and billing so you can run a compliant registry end-to-end rather than stitching together separate services. Operators get admin tools for reporting, manual adjustments, and policy configuration, while registrars interact through standards-compliant channels. Nomulus treats registries as serious infrastructure: audited flows, durable storage, and clear extension points for custom policies and TLD-specific behavior.

    Java JWT

    Java JWT

    Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT)

    A Java implementation of JSON Web Token (JWT) - RFC 7519. This library requires Java 8 or higher. The last version that supported Java 7 was 3.11.0. The library implements JWT Verification and Signing using several algorithms. The Algorithm defines how a token is signed and verified. It can be instantiated with the raw value of the secret in the case of HMAC algorithms, or the key pairs or KeyProvider in the case of RSA and ECDSA algorithms. Once created, the instance is reusable for token signing and verification operations. When using RSA or ECDSA algorithms and you just need to sign JWTs you can avoid specifying a Public Key by passing a null value. The same can be done with the Private Key when you just need to verify JWTs.

    General purpose PHP SOAP-client

    General purpose PHP SOAP-client

    A general purpose SOAP client for PHP

    Sick and tired of building crappy SOAP implementations? This package aims to help you with some common SOAP integration pains in PHP. Its goal is to make integrating with SOAP fun again! Since life is too short to read documentation, we've added a scafolding wizard which will get you communicating with your SOAP server in no time! Implementing SOAP extensions is a real pain in the ass. It forces you to overwrite core methods of the built-in SOAP client. If you ever had to implement WSA or WSSE in SOAP, you know that there is something wrong in the core. Therefore, we made it easy for you to extend our SOAP client. You can specify which data transfer handler like e.g. Guzzle you want to use. Depending on the selected handler, you can easily add support for SOAP extensions or advanced authentication through HTTP middlewares.

    CloudRetro

    CloudRetro

    Web-based Cloud Gaming service for Retro Game

    CloudRetro provides an open-source cloud gaming platform for retro games. It started as an experiment for testing cloud gaming performance with WebRTC and Libretro, and now it aims to deliver the most modern and convenient gaming experience through technology. Theoretically, in cloud gaming, games are run on remote servers and media are streamed to the player optimally to ensure the most comfortable user interaction. It opens the ability to play any retro games on a web-browser directly, which are fully compatible with multi-platform like Desktop, Android, IOS. In ideal network condition and less resource contention on servers, the game will run smoothly as in the video demo. Because I only hosted the platform on limited servers in US East, US West, Eu, Singapore, you may experience some latency issues + connection problem. You can try hosting the service following the instruction the next section to have a better sense of performance.

    Laravel Cookie Consent

    Laravel Cookie Consent

    Make your Laravel app comply with the crazy EU cookie law

    All sites owned by EU citizens or targeted towards EU citizens must comply to a crazy EU law. This law requires a dialog to be displayed to inform the users of your websites how cookies are being used. You can read more info on the legislation on the site of the European Commission. The newest Laravel package made by my colleagues at Spatie and myself makes your app compliant with that law. When the user clicks "Allow cookies" a laravel_cookie_consent cookie will be set and the dialog will be removed from the DOM. On the next request Laravel will notice that the laravel_cookie_consent has been set and will not display the dialog again. The legislation is pretty very vague on how to display the warning, which texts are necessary, and what options you need to provide. This package will go a long way towards compliance, but if you want to be 100% sure that your website is ok, you should consult a legal expert.

    Wretch

    Wretch

    A tiny wrapper built around fetch with an intuitive syntax

    A tiny (~ 3Kb g-zipped) wrapper built around fetch with an intuitive syntax. Wretch is compatible with modern browsers out of the box. For older environments without fetch support, you should get a polyfill. Converts a javascript object to query parameters, then appends this query string to the current url. String values are used as the query string verbatim. Only compatible with browsers that support AbortControllers. Otherwise, you could use a (partial) polyfill. Associates a custom controller with the request. Useful when you need to use your own AbortController, otherwise wretch will create a new controller itself. Aborts the request after a fixed time. If you use a custom AbortController associated with the request, pass it as the second argument. Returns the automatically generated AbortController alongside the current wretch response as a pair.
