Tessera is a schema registry designed for data warehouses, extending the concept of Kafka Schema Registry to a broader data stack. It coordinates schema changes between producers and consumers across dbt, OpenAPI, GraphQL, and Kafka. Producers must acknowledge breaking changes before publishing, while consumers register dependencies, receive notifications on schema changes, and can block breaking changes until ready to migrate. Targeted at data teams dealing with schema evolution and data contracts, it's production-intended, MIT licensed, and built with Python and FastAPI.

nPhoneCLI is a GPLv3-licensed Python library available on PyPI that provides a clean, function-based API for automating interactions with Android devices, particularly for unlocking purposes in right-to-repair contexts. It is designed for automation, scripting, and integration into other Python projects, with explicit return values and Python exceptions. The library is based on the author's existing GUI project, nPhoneKIT, but is tailored for developers rather than end-users. The author notes a lack of comparable, functional projects in this space, as many existing tools are broken or poorly documented.
