Comparelists.org – Instantly Compare Two Lists, Find Differences

Hey HN, I got tired of manually comparing two lists (think: emails, product SKUs, code, whatever) and built CompareLists.org to make it painless. You just paste your two lists, hit compare, and instantly see what’s unique to each list, what matches, and any duplicates. It handles thousands of lines, works right in your browser (no data leaves your device), and you can export results as CSV/TXT/JSON. There are options for case sensitivity, whitespace, and more. It’s free and there’s no signup. I’d love for you to try it out and let me know what you think—or if there’s a feature you…

    Hi 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.

  • Hi everyone, I built PyXL — a hardware processor that executes a custom assembly generated from Python programs, without using a traditional interpreter or virtual machine. It compiles Python -> CPython Bytecode -> Instruction set designed for direct hardware execution. I’m sharing an early benchmark: a GPIO test where PyXL achieves a 480ns round-trip toggle — compared to 14-25 micro seconds on a MicroPython Pyboard - even though PyXL runs at a lower clock (100MHz vs. 168MHz). The design is stack-based, fully pipelined, and preserves Python's dynamic typing without static type restrictions.…
