ExcelAPI

What it does

Tired of writing Excel boilerplate in every project? ExcelAPI handles it with one HTTP call. Send JSON → get a formatted xlsx back. Upload xlsx → get structured JSON back. Upload PDF → get Excel back. Works in Python, Node.js, PHP, or any language that makes HTTP requests. Free tier: 50 calls/month, no credit card needed. Built by a solo developer who got tired of solving the same Excel problem over and over.

Generate, parse, validate, merge, split, and fill Excel files using a simple REST API.

  Talanoa▲346

  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…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
