Cloudzip (https://github.com/ozkatz/cloudzip) allows mounting remote zip archives as a local directory, without having to download and extract them first.
Cloudzip – mount remote zip files (S3, Kaggle) as a local directory launched on April 14, 2024 with 5 votes, #1,789 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
What it does
See this gif, in which I mount a 32GB zip file, directly from @kaggle, as a local directory. I then immediately query it using @duckdb. With cloudzip (https://t.co/y0fXJqvaDl), I only ever downloaded a handful of MBs to make this work. 🧵

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself.
