Repo Radar Daily

A dozen open-source repositories, checked and reviewed, every day.

A tool with 59,000 stars, and no code since 2024

Edition No. 58

A browser tool that says it is not a security boundary

A browser tool that warns it is not a security boundary, a media player whose code moved this morning but whose newest release is from December, and a database extension that admits what it cannot protect.

Edition No. 57

An audit tool that says it cannot audit the administrator

An audit extension that lists its own blind spots, 3,400 brand logos in the public domain, and a loader whose stable tag is a year behind its code.

Edition No. 56
