A simpler way to manage internationalization in component-based apps
I built this because I was frustrated with how messy translation files get as projects scale. Most i18n solutions force you to manage big JSON dictionaries, spread across multiple files, and then manually wire everything into your UI. It quickly becomes hard to keep things organized, especially in component-heavy apps. This approach is component-first i18n: translations live close to the UI they belong to. That makes it easier to keep things organized, avoid duplication, and scale without the usual chaos of string management. It’s lightweight, works with React/Next.js, and is designed…

Localize React apps without rewriting code2025 · github.com · ▲89Hi HN! We've just released an open-source React bundler plugin that makes apps multilingual—at build time, without modifying the code. React app localization typically requires implementing i18n frameworks, extracting text to JSON files, and wrapping components in translation tags - essentially rewriting your entire codebase before you can even start translating. Our React bundler plugin eliminates this friction entirely. You add it to an existing React app, specify which languages you want, and it automatically makes your app multilingual without touching a single line of your component…

Intlayer2024 · intlayer.org · ▲24We just adapted our lightweight internationalization solution for Preact. It supports per-component translations that are dynamically loaded, so only visible content is fetched – keeping bundles lean. Example bundle sizes: Preact + Intlayer: 120 KB Preact support is handled via a new npm package, preact-intlayer.

I built the world's most impractical 1000-pixel display and anyone in the world can draw on it. It draws a single pixel at a time and takes 30-60 minutes to complete a single image. Anyone can participate in the project by voting for the next image to be drawn, and submitting images. https://kilopx.com/

Kitten TTS is an open-source series of tiny and expressive text-to-speech models for on-device applications. We are excited to launch a preview of our smallest model, which is less than 25 MB. This model has 15M parameters. This release supports English text-to-speech applications in eight voices: four male and four female. The model is quantized to int8 + fp16, and it uses onnx for runtime. The model is designed to run literally anywhere eg. raspberry pi, low-end smartphones, wearables, browsers etc. No GPU required! We're releasing this to give early users a sense of the latency and voices…

I was wondering how I can arrange objects along a spherical helix path, and read some articles on it. I ended up learning about parametric equations again, and make this visualization to document what I learned: https://visualrambling.space/moving-objects-in-3d/ feel free to visit and let me know what you think!
