Last year, I wrote about the tools I created for various tasks and project that I did for 2024. I want to repeat the same thing for this year but with more mature projects.

And some of the work this year has been to refine some old project and fix problems with them. I will keep the style of last year so that if I keep up doing this every year then I can analyze the pattern over years.

Physics related Projects

• lvec - This is a four vector calculations python library with focus on supporting other sci-hep and performance. It supports subset of vector package. This started last year. But for this year I worked on including reference frame support out of the box and added significant memory optimizations including Cache Size Limits, LRU Eviction, and TTL Support.

• arxiv daily reader - While I used another project for couple of years to organize my arxiv daily reading (or skimming) I created arxiv reader project with focus on UX on E-ink devices.And it uses GitHub Actions as backend to call the RSS and generate the HTML page from a template.

• hep-jobs - I'm in the market for applying for postdocs, so I created this page to track various places which usually posts experiment high energy physics positions in nice way and make it easier to track.

• root-mcp - This is still work in progress to develop a mcp server to provide tools for LLMs to deal with ROOT files. I plan to extend it with tools to make most physics analyses.

• lhcbfinder - This is a semantic search engine for LHCb related papers. It uses LHCb papers from arxiv and apply embedding models to provide search over the content of the papers.

Development Tools

• ROOT-Colab - Instead of having to keep up with Google Colab changing python runtime version and build new ROOT (to have compatible PyROOT) I automated the build via GitHub action and also automated a page to list instructions on how to use different versions.

• Snipo - A lightweight self-hosted code snippet manager that is focused on simplicity and ease of use. It supports syntax highlighting for multiple programming languages and provides a clean interface for organizing and retrieving code snippets.

• github2forgejo - A tool in simple script that uses Gitea API to sync repositories from GitHub to Forgejo instances. I used it to sync my GitHub repositories to my self-hosted Forgejo instance.

• grender - Web app that displays any public GitHub repository in browser with syntax highlighting and markdown rendering. It is useful for quick viewing of code without having to clone the repository. And it can help provide contents for LLMs to analyze code.

• nrepo - Source code streamlining tool that process multiple source files into an optimized text format, making it easier to work with code in LLM contexts. I use it mainly because of jupyter to md conversion I did implement.

• tqdm - This is not a fork of the popular tqdm package, but simple C++ implementation of progress bars for command line applications. I created it to use in some of my C++ projects to provide progress bar functionality without external dependencies. And it is header-only library that tried to do the job with minimal code. I probably need a better name for it.

• condor-watch - A command-line tool to monitor HTCondor jobs in real-time. It provides a simple interface to view job status, resource usage, and other relevant information for jobs submitted to a HTCondor cluster. I use it to monitor my jobs on CERN cluster.

• swagg - Self-hosted OpenAPI/Swagger documentation viewer that runs entirely in the browser.

Utilities

• tex2mathml - This is a Web app to provide Latex to MathML conversion service in easy way. I created it to help writing LaTeX on this blog as I don't use JS tools to render LaTeX.

• QuarkLauncher - macOS app that replaces the default launcher that was removed in macOS 26.0. It provides a quick way to launch apps, open files, and perform system actions using keyboard shortcuts.

• ImgBlock - Firefox browser extension that removes all non-icon images from web pages with a single click. I'm the only user of it probably, but it is available in the Firefox add-ons store.

• pixify - A lightweight script to simplify batch image processing. The purpose is to strip metadata and distort photos slightly to increase privacy when sharing images online or with others.

• adguard-helper - A zsh plugin to make it easier to control interaction with the AdGuard VPN CLI tool on Linux because it lacks GUI application.

Themes

• ghostty-tiniri - tiniri theme for Ghostty Terminal Emulator.

• ghostty-dracula - Dracula theme for Ghostty Terminal Emulator.
