Duckling – Open-source datetime expression parsing

In plain words

Duckling is an open-source library for parsing datetime expressions in natural language. It converts phrases like "next Tuesday" or "in two hours" into structured data formats. Built for developers integrating natural language processing into applications, Duckling supports multiple languages and handles relative time references, making it useful for chatbots, voice assistants, and scheduling applications.

Friction at every step (TOO MUCH to load a csv or even to test some sql (study)... The Solution: DuckDB's WASM runtime lets us run SQL analysis client-side. Load CSV/JSON/Parquet files from disk or URL, write SQL, get results instantly. Data stays on your machine. What It Does: SQL editor…

  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. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…
