Xinyuan-LilyGO/LilyGo-LoRa-Series ★ 990 257 APPLICATION

This repository provides a comprehensive collection of Arduino-compatible libraries and examples for developing applications with LilyGo LoRa-based development boards. It includes libraries for LoRa wireless communication (RadioLib), display interfaces (TFT_eSPI, GxEPD, U8g2), sensor integration (SensorLib), button handling (AceButton), GPS parsing (MicroNMEA), and power management. The architecture follows a modular library pattern with extensive example applications demonstrating various use cases like point-to-point LoRa communication, LoRaWAN nodes, GPS tracking, sensor data display, and remote control systems. The codebase demonstrates good software engineering practices with clear separation of concerns, hardware abstraction layers, and well-documented components.

CompassMB/MBCompass ★ 604 43 APPLICATION

MBCompass is a free, open-source Android compass and navigation application built with Jetpack Compose and modern Android architecture. It provides a digital compass with true/magnetic north support, declination correction, and sensor fusion for accuracy. The app integrates online and offline maps (via OSMDroid and MapsForge), GPS location tracking, and full track recording capabilities including start/pause/resume, GPX export/import, and detailed statistics (distance, speed, elevation, ascent/descent). The UI follows Material Design 3 with support for dynamic theming, AMOLED dark mode, and multiple languages. The architecture follows a feature-based package structure with MVVM pattern, using Hilt for dependency injection, DataStore for user preferences, and Kotlin Serialization for track persistence. Key modules include a foreground service for GPS tracking, a sensor event listener with lifecycle-aware registration, and a repository pattern for track CRUD operations. The app is lightweight (~2 MB), privacy-focused (no ads, no analytics), and supports Android 6+ with target SDK 33+. While the codebase demonstrates solid engineering practices with clean abstractions and reusable UI components, there are signs of technical drift including deprecated LocationListener APIs, scoped storage concerns, and potential library version lag. The project appears actively maintained with recent changelogs, extensive translations, and community engagement via Weblate and GitHub issues.

richonguzman/LoRa_APRS_Tracker ★ 512 144 APPLICATION

The LoRa_APRS_Tracker is an embedded firmware application for ESP32-based hardware designed to function as an APRS (Automatic Packet Reporting System) tracker and transceiver. It integrates GPS tracking, LoRa radio communication, Bluetooth (Classic and BLE) for smartphone TNC connectivity, WiFi for wireless configuration, and support for various environmental sensors to telemetry data. The application features a menu-driven interface via OLED/TFT display and physical controls (buttons, joystick, touch, or keyboard), allowing users to configure beacon settings, view received packets, and manage messages. The architecture follows a modular utility pattern where distinct hardware and software components (e.g., GPS, LoRa, display, power management) are encapsulated in separate namespaced modules, each with setup and loop functions called from the main firmware loop. Configuration is managed through a hierarchical JSON-based system stored in SPIFFS, enabling persistent storage of user settings such as beacon profiles, LoRa parameters, and WiFi credentials. A built-in web server serves a responsive configuration portal (using Bootstrap) for initial setup and advanced settings via WiFi AP. Key capabilities include APRS beaconing with MIC-E encoding, two-way messaging, Winlink email integration over radio, digipeating, weather telemetry encoding, and power-saving features like GPS and LoRa module shutdown. The firmware supports numerous hardware variants through conditional compilation and variant-specific pin definitions, allowing the same codebase to compile for different ESP32 boards with various LoRa modules and sensors.

thewhiteh4t/seeker ★ 9933 2281 APPLICATION

Seeker is a CLI-based social engineering tool that hosts fake web pages designed to trick users into granting geolocation permissions. When a victim visits the served page, JavaScript collects precise GPS coordinates, device fingerprinting data (OS, CPU cores, RAM, screen resolution, GPU, browser, IP addresses), and public IP information via ipwhois.app. The tool uses PHP's built-in server to serve the templates and handles incoming data through PHP endpoints that write to local log files. Seeker then polls these logs, stores results in CSV/KML formats, and can forward captured data to Telegram bots or Discord webhooks. It supports multiple phishing templates (Google Drive, WhatsApp, Telegram, Zoom, reCAPTCHA, and a 'NearYou' map page) and integrates with tunneling services like ngrok for public exposure. The repository is primarily a penetration testing and educational proof-of-concept, demonstrating the ease of harvesting geolocation data through deceptive web pages. While functional and well-documented, the codebase lacks tests and uses environment-variable-driven configuration to avoid interactive prompts in deployment scenarios.
