    EdgeVec – Sub-millisecond vector search in the browser (Rust/WASM)▲7

    Hi HN, I built EdgeVec, a vector database that runs entirely in the browser. It implements HNSW (Hierarchical Navigable Small World) graphs for approximate nearest neighbor search. Performance: - Sub-millisecond search at 100k vectors (768 dimensions, k=10) - 148 KB gzipped bundle - 3.6x memory reduction with scalar quantization Use cases: browser extensions with semantic search, local-first apps, privacy-preserving RAG. Technical: Written in Rust, compiled to WASM. Uses AVX2 SIMD on native, simd128 on WASM. IndexedDB for browser persistence. npm:…

    Witchcraft and Pickbrain – fast multi-vector semantic search in Rust▲6

    Witchcraft is from-scratch Rust reimplementation of Stanford's XTR-Warp (SIGIR'25, https://arxiv.org/abs/2501.17788 ) multi-vector semantic search engine. Witchcraft runs out of a single SQLite database, is blazing-fast (21ms p.95 end-to-end search latency on NFCorpus on a MacBook Pro), accurate (33% NDCG@10), and easy to deploy in your own apps. The Witchcraft repo also comes with Pickbrain, a sample app and agent skill that you can use to instantly query across all your Claude Code and Codex CLI sessions, effectively giving your agents global long-term memory. Please…

    OnPair – String compression with fast random access (Rust, C++)▲6

    I’ve been working on a compression algorithm for fast random access to individual strings in large collections. The problem came up when working with large in-memory database columns (emails, URLs, product titles, etc.), where low-latency point queries are essential. With short strings, LZ77-based compressors don’t perform well. Block compression helps, but block size forces a trade-off between ratio and access speed. Some existing options: - BPE: good ratios, but slow and memory-heavy - FSST (discussed here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41489047): very fast, but…

    I made a Rust Terminal UI for OpenSnitch, a Linux application firewall▲6

    I made a Terminal UI for OpenSnitch[1], an interactive application firewall for Linux inspired by Little Snitch. I’ve always wanted to create a TUI and found the perfect excuse to make this for usage on one of my headless servers. I wrote this in Rust to force myself to learn more, viz. async features. Super open to feedback and contributions! [1] https://github.com/evilsocket/opensnitch

    Ipfrs – A "Thinking" IPFS in Rust with Built-In Vector Search▲5

    I built a "Thinking" IPFS in Rust. Unlike standard IPFS, IPFRS supports built-in Semantic Search (HNSW) & Logic Programming on the DAG. You can query content by meaning, not just hash. Looking for feedback on the architecture! Blog: https://medium.com/@kitasanio/beyond-static-storage-why-i-bu... Code: https://github.com/cool-japan/ipfrs #RustLang #IPFS #Web3 #AI #RAG

    Cu29_log, a Fast Structured Text Logging in Rust▲5

    This is a Rust crate that enables you to log text in Rust hundreds of times faster than traditional text logging while avoiding the need for parsing to recover values from your text log. This is not a new idea, but since we couldn't find anything similar in the Rust ecosystem, we built one for everyone, including simple Python bindings for the data processing side.
