nuclear: Nuclear is a free, open-source music player designed without ads or tracking, allowing users to search for music, build playlists, and listen. It offers a powerful plugin system and theme support, running seamlessly on Windows, macOS, and Linux.; mcpfusion: MCP Fusion is a TypeScript framework for building secure MCP servers with architectural security enforcement. It includes egress firewall, state machines, governance tools, and AI-assisted development via a machine-readable Skill contract. The framework supports three pathways: zero-code YAML, typed MVA, and FSM-based workflow enforcement, and can be deployed to Vinkius Edge, Vercel, or Cloudflare Workers.
