# Repo roundup: a receipt printer that thanks every stargazer, a PR autopilot, and an ad-killer for Android

> Three small projects from this week's GitHub trending list that are clever, useful, or both — with what they do, how they work, and the catches.

## 1. print-my-profile-pic — star it, and your face prints on a receipt

**[aschmelyun/print-my-profile-pic](https://github.com/aschmelyun/print-my-profile-pic)** · PHP · Raspberry Pi

The premise is delightfully silly: star the repository, and your GitHub avatar prints out on a thermal receipt printer in the author's home. The engineering is a tidy example of wiring a webhook to hardware:

- A **GitHub webhook** fires on each new star and posts the event to a **Cloudflare Tunnel** domain.
- The tunnel leads to a **PHP script on a Raspberry Pi**, which grabs the starrer's name and avatar, drops the picture behind a photo-frame cutout, and adds a few extra details.
- **escpos-php** formats the receipt for an **Epson TM-T88IV** connected over USB.

**Why it's worth a look:** it's a ten-minute read that teaches webhooks, tunnels and ESC/POS printing — a great template for "physical notification" projects (order alerts, CI failures, doorbell logs).

## 2. tstack — Theo's daily-driver agent skills

**[t3dotgg/tstack](https://github.com/t3dotgg/tstack)** · MIT · works with Claude Code and Codex

A set of agent skills built around one idea: **let the agent carry a pull request all the way through**. Highlights:

| Skill | Say this | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| `full-send` | "full send" | Verifies, reviews, files, monitors and merges a change — unattended |
| `full-stop` | "full stop" | Same, but stops when the PR is ready for *you* to merge |
| `council` | "council" | Gets review from three models from different providers and loops until they agree |
| `babysit-pr` | "babysit" | Watches CI and review bots and fixes the valid findings |
| `takeover` | "take over" | Finishes someone else's PR or branch while keeping their credit |
| `modernize` | "modernize" | Rebases an old PR and decides whether it should still exist |

Install by copying `skills/*` into `~/.claude/skills/` or `~/.codex/skills/`. You need an authenticated `gh` CLI; `council` and the review loop need access to other providers' models.

**The catch:** `full-send` merges without a human looking. Start with `full-stop`.

## 3. android-ad-cleaner — strip the ads out of Chinese Android skins, no root required

**[rddmwmddr/android-ad-cleaner](https://github.com/rddmwmddr/android-ad-cleaner)** · Python · MIT

Phones running **Honor MagicOS, OPPO ColorOS, Xiaomi HyperOS and vivo OriginOS** are notorious for ads in system apps, "hot search" feeds and marketing pushes. This tool turns them off over **adb** (USB or wireless debugging):

- Disables ad personalization, ad tracking (OAID) and "smart recommendation" services.
- Hides app-store banners, splash ads and floating promotions; turns off marketing notification channels while **keeping** delivery, order and update alerts.
- Suspends known ad components and disables "quick apps."
- Takes a **snapshot first**, and suspended packages and channels can be restored with a command.

It deliberately avoids risky moves: **no root, no bootloader unlock, no system-app uninstalls**, and it backs out of any user-agreement screen. You can run it yourself, follow a manual checklist, use the desktop app, or let an AI agent drive it.

**The catch:** device "recipes" vary by model and OS version, and only the Honor PNM-AN10 recipe is marked fully tested — others are partial or in progress. Back up first, and expect a system update to break a step or two. The README is in Chinese; the marketing-notification and ad-tracking steps should work on most Android phones.
