In their own words
delta
delta is a free, open-source pager for Git and related command-line output, including diffs, grep, ripgrep JSON, and blame. It can show diffs side by side with line numbers and automatic wrapping, and highlight edits within lines using a Levenshtein edit inference algorithm. Its syntax themes are the ones available with bat. Delta can be configured as Git’s pager and interactive diff filter, and its documentation covers zdiff3 for merge conflicts. It can highlight output from ripgrep, git grep, and grep; blame and diff hyperlinks can target GitHub, GitLab, SourceHut, and Codeberg. The manual also describes integrations with Magit, VS Code, tmux, and GNU Screen. Executables are offered for Linux glibc, Linux musl, macOS, and Windows, alongside package-manager installation instructions. Paging depends on less, for which the project recommends a reasonably recent version. The project includes the MIT License. The listed git-delta plan costs nothing.
SNES Emulator
SNES Emulator runs Super Nintendo Entertainment System games as a native application or in a browser. It is aimed at people who want to play SNES games on Linux, macOS, Windows, or the web. The project is free and open source under GPL-3.0-or-later, and is written in Rust.
The maker describes it as a work in progress, so emulation may be incomplete and bugs are to be expected. A browser version is linked for online use. The README explains how to build from source with Rust 1.92.0 or newer using `cargo build --release`, but does not list a release download. Keyboard controls map to the SNES gamepad: Escape is Start, Space is Select, WASD handles directions, and letter keys operate buttons. The project includes wgpu with its webgl feature for graphics. It is a standalone emulator; the maker pages do not describe third-party integrations, security controls, or a support service.
