GitHub seismograph — discoveries and growing interest

GitNova Daily discoveries — October 16, 2026 · 22:00 MSK

Three discoveries with different uses, selected from the projects GitNova tracks. This edition was saved on October 16, 2026, 19:00 UTC.

Summaries come from README digests. Magnitude measures growing interest; installation has not been tested. Star counts below refer to the stated UTC day at the time shown.

tangency-labs/solidcraft

Games & graphics · Rust

+302stars on 2026-10-16 · UTC

An open-source parametric 3D CAD written in pure Rust, a clean-room reimplementation of Autodesk Fusion 360, with sketch constraints, a feature timeline, and export to STEP/IGES/STL. Runs as a desktop app, in the browser, or headless via CLI, and can be driven by AI agents over MCP.

Useful for
  • Model a parametric part as a JSON command script and export it to STEP from the CLI
  • Let an AI agent sketch, extrude and measure a part through the built-in MCP server
  • Import an existing STEP file, measure its volume and area, then build new features on it

xerj-org/xerj

AI agents · Rust

+1,094stars on 2026-10-16 · UTC

A local Rust search engine that auto-indexes folders of code, docs, logs and PDFs so AI agents retrieve exact passages instead of reading whole files. Elasticsearch-compatible and cuts token usage for agents.

Useful for
  • Index a repository and find relevant code passages by query with file:line
  • Set up reference coding: clone and index similar OSS projects so the agent reuses solutions
  • Run a security audit by indexing a file tree and querying for dangerous calls and secrets

Zfinix/eleven

Security · TypeScript

+129stars on 2026-10-16 · UTC

A reverse-engineering app for macOS, Windows and Linux where ACP agents read binaries, APKs and GPU kernels, rename functions and suggest patches under your control. Uses Ghidra, Rizin, jadx and LLDB.

Useful for
  • Open an ELF or Mach-O binary and ask an agent to explain what functions do
  • Inspect an Android APK via jadx to view manifest, resources and smali
  • Diff two builds by function and review changes like a code review
