AI coding agents can now take closed software apart and rebuild it. I keep track of what they actually built, which tools they really used, and what you can run today, including the wave of agents cleaning ads off smart TVs and recompiling Switch games to run natively. Every entry links to its own source, and each list is in English and 中文.
Awesome REA: what AI agents reverse-engineered and rebuilt, and which ones really used REA.

Awesome Hacker News Data: every "HackerTube for X", the dataset each one uses, and the traps in that data.
→ Which data does each site use? |
Awesome TV Debloat: take the ads, tracking and junk out of the smart TV you already own, with root and undo checked for each project. |
Awesome Switch Recomp: play your own Switch and Switch 2 games natively on iPhone, Mac, PC and Android, sorted by device, with the game version each project needs. |
