In their own words
NESER
NESER is a free Nintendo emulation systems engine written in Rust, with desktop and browser frontends. It supports NES and Famicom variants, Game Boy and Game Boy Color, Game Boy Advance, and Super Nintendo systems. Shared platform code covers audio, video, input, save states, configuration, ROM browsing, and debugging. The native frontend supports keyboard and gamepad input, with NES-specific devices including the Zapper, SNES Mouse, Arkanoid paddle, Power Pad, and Four Score. NES users can choose shader presets such as CRT, NTSC, smooth, PAL, or none. The browser frontend accepts ROM files for the supported systems. For scripting and CI, headless mode runs a ROM and writes a PNG frame; the same ROM and frame count produce byte-identical captures across runs and builds. NES development tools include a debugger, CPU trace, breakpoints, and deterministic autorun recording and playback. A built-in open-source GBA BIOS means no external BIOS file is required. NESER is MIT-licensed and can be installed with cargo install neser or obtained as a prebuilt release.
OpenInvoice
OpenInvoice extracts structured information from PDF and image invoices, then lets users check the results against the source document, correct fields, and export CSV or JSON. It identifies supplier and client details, invoice number, date, totals, tax, currency, SIRET, VAT number, client number, and line items. Processing starts with regular-expression patterns and invoice2data templates, using a MiniMax M2.7 language model only when required fields remain missing. The project lists English, French, German, and Swiss formats and more than 190 vendor templates. Its dashboard tracks processing volume, success rates, supplier distribution, and language-model costs. The API covers extraction, webhook ingestion, document management, CSV export, dashboard statistics, and quality metrics. Typical connections include Microsoft Teams, Outlook or email through Power Automate, OneDrive or SharePoint, and webhooks. OpenInvoice can run on customer infrastructure and connect to ERP, accounting, Microsoft 365, and email systems. The code is free and open source; deployment, integration, and ongoing support are paid services.
