To that end Aesop consists of three main functions and goals:

Pre-compile and package HPHP - The idea here is simple. To get us up and running as quickly as possible I’ve packaged the HPHP binaries in the full download version of Aesop. This means we no longer have to worry about compiling HPHP, which saves time and possible headache. We needn’t use this version though, we can still download a minimal, Aesop only version complete with full source code.

Compile – Compiling HPHP applications from the command line means well, using a command line, setting environmental variables, and so on. Thus, we remove this burden and instead focus on making sure our code-base is acceptable to HPHP.

Aesop builds the file lists HPHP requires for code-compilation, sets environment variables, displays errors, and also manages the results of HPHP for the other main function of Aesop…

Manage Servers – Compiling code is only half the story. Once compiled HPHP has literally created a server-in-a-box for us. It’s a single executable that contains your source converted to C++, a web server, and the full PHP run-time. Aesop manages these executable for us in a nice list format, allowing us to start, stop and delete them at will. Of course setting their properties using GUI controls or a more advanced interface to a so-called HDF file is included as well.

mitmproxy is an SSL-capable man-in-the-middle HTTP proxy. It provides a console interface that allows traffic flows to be inspected and edited on the fly.

mitmdump is the command-line version of mitmproxy, with the same functionality but without the frills. Think tcpdump for HTTP.

Intercept and modify HTTP traffic on the fly Save HTTP conversations for later replay and analysis Replay both HTTP clients and servers Make scripted changes to HTTP traffic using Python SSL interception certs generated on the fly

"Dashing is a Sinatra based framework that lets you build beautiful dashboards.

Check out a demo over here. Here's another one, optimized for 1080p screens.

Key features:

Use premade widgets, or fully create your own with scss, html, and coffeescript. Widgets harness the power of data bindings to keep things DRY and simple. Powered by batman.js. Use the API to push data to your dashboards, or make use of a simple ruby DSL for fetching data. Drag & Drop interface for re-arranging your widgets. Host your dashboards on Heroku in less than 30 seconds. This project was created at Shopify for displaying custom dashboards on TVs around the office."

"pngquant is a command-line utility and a library for converting 24/32-bit PNG images to paletted (8-bit) PNGs.

The conversion reduces file sizes significantly (often as much as 70%) and preserves full alpha transparency. Generated images are compatible with all modern web browsers, and have better fallback in IE6 than 24-bit PNGs."

"RazorFlow PHP is a framework to build interactive, cross-device dashboards using PHP code.

Use an intuitive PHP API to configure the parts of your dashboard, and RazorFlow will process the data and intelligently render the dashboard according to the form-factor and capabilities of the user's device."

"BigBlueButton is an open source web conferencing system for distance education.

It supports sharing of slides (PDF and any document readable by OpenOffice), webcams, whiteboard, chat, voice over IP (using FreeSWITCH), and presenter's desktop. It can record and playback sessions (slides, audio, and chat), runs on Mac, Unix, and PC computers, and is supported by a community of developers that care about good design and a streamlined user experience.

The use cases for BigBlueButton are

One-to-one on-line tutoring Small group collaboration On-line classes (25 or less) BigBlueButton is built using over fifteen open source projects."
