What it does
Plot twist: there are no transformer models, GPU clusters, or vector embeddings here. We built Glyph because we needed fast content intelligence for some of our own products. Then we made it fast. Glyph converts text into fixed-size signatures using MinHash and uses those signatures for similarity estimation, ranking, search, recommendations, guided token chain autocompletions, and document matching. Glyph runs entirely in memory, with no embedding API or vector database required.
A lightweight toolkit for generating and comparing content fingerprints. - Koda-OSS/Glyph
Compare fast. Search in memory. Spotlight documents. Aggregate collections. Glyph turns text into glyphs — fixed-size MinHash fingerprints. Compare similarity, search an in-memory index, rank document chunks with spotlight, pre-aggregate labeled examples into one glyph, or suggest the next word with completions. import { Create , Compare } from "@koda.oss/glyph" ; const a = Create ( "the quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog" ) ; const b = Create ( "the quick brown fox leaped over the lazy dog" ) ; console . log ( Compare ( a , b ) . similarity ) ; // ~0–1 Jaccard estimate Documentation Full doc index: docs/README.md · Changelog · Migration 0.4 → 1.0 A lightweight toolkit for generating…from github.com

Glyph3D – A 3D text visualizer for macOS and iOS / iPadOS2024 · github.com · ▲52Hello internet folks! I'm happy to share the first TestFlight release of Glyph3D, a 3D text visualizer for macOS and iOS. It's free, supports pretty much any utf8 data, and is a pretty interesting way to navigate your repositories or data directories without the limitations of standard text windows! Download and bookmark for macOS and iOS: https://github.com/tikimcfee/LookAtThat/ - You should be able to download public repos from GitHub and render them. - Play with opening and closing windows. I've disabled many of the in-flight features to keep user confusion down,…
- GAGlyphLang – An AI-first programming languageJan 2026 · ▲44
While working on a proof of concept project, I kept hitting Claude's token limit 30-60 minutes into their 5-hour sessions. The accumulating context from the codebase was eating through tokens fast. So I built a language designed to be generated by AI rather than written by humans. GlyphLang GlyphLang replaces verbose keywords with symbols that tokenize more efficiently: # Python @app.route('/users/') def get_user(id): user = db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id = ?", id) return jsonify(user) # GlyphLang @ GET /users/:id { $ user = db.query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE id…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
