I was searching around Twitter, generally surfing along, when I came across a useful GitHub repository: a collection of legal templates that appear to have been drafted by attorneys and released under an open-source Creative Commons license.

The repository is worth looking at because it includes templates for things like:

  • Advisor Agreement
  • Master Services Agreement
  • Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement
  • One-Way Non-Disclosure Agreement
  • Privacy Policy
  • Terms of Use
  • Data Processing Addendum for the U.S. and global use
  • Cookie Notice

That is a pretty useful collection, especially for startups, small technology companies, and anyone who needs a starting point for standard legal documents. Of course, templates are not a substitute for legal advice, but having a well-structured starting point can still save a lot of time.

The repository is here:

]]> Discovering Open-Source Projects via X https://faisalkhan.xyz/posts/discovering-open-source-projects-via-x/ Mon, 03 Aug 2026 09:00:00 +0300 https://faisalkhan.xyz/posts/discovering-open-source-projects-via-x/ A simple way to discover excellent open-source projects by searching X for GitHub and open-source mentions, then patiently following the trail. There are some fantastic open-source projects out there, but finding them usually takes a bit of discovery work. One thing I have noticed is that if you go to X and search for terms like “open source project” or “GitHub,” you will find a surprising number of useful mentions, links, demos, and project announcements.

The secret is patience, and then more patience. Go through the results slowly. If you take your time, you will find gold mines you may not have known existed. It is also worth noting that some people on X consistently post about these kinds of projects, so they may be worth following once you start recognizing the useful accounts.

I do not want to recommend anyone specific yet because I am still going through the process myself, but the method works. Go back through older results, even as far back as a year. It can take hours, but it is well worth the effort. You can also write better search queries over time to narrow the results and find more relevant projects.

The search I used was:
