Oh! Damn it I forgot about manticore -- I had seen it before but forgot to include it.

Eventually all of these projects will be highlighted on Awesome F/OSS (https://awsmfoss.com), but for now I'm just going to dump my bookmarks here for other people, since I'm leaving awesome projects out:

There is no way I can get to running all of these (this project was supposed to be quick!!), but I will run the ones I noted earlier, and probably manticore too since it was high on my list since it's quite polished looking.
