Linguist, a translation browser extension
In June 2023, I found myself in an awkward situation. We used a custom database on a project, and I needed a simple query builder to create complex queries dynamically and ensure security against user input. I discovered that there were no solutions to that problem on the JavaScript platform at all.
Linguist, a translation browser extension launched on August 19, 2023 with 5 votes, #1,919 of 4,347 launches that month and more than 50% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 3 years on.
What it does
The web browser is the most used program for me and for most users of the internet, so it is important for the browser to work efficiently during daily use. Although most browsers have embedded translation features and there are many browser extensions providing translation capabilities, I have found them to be not good enough and unacceptable for intensive use. This is why I have created Linguist
In the maker’s words, at launch

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. 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…

Outlines is a Python library that focuses on text generation with large language models. Brandon and I are not LLM experts and started the project a few months ago because we wanted to understand better how the generation process works. Our original background is probabilistic, relational and symbolic programming. Recently we came up with a fast way to generate text that matches a regex (https://blog.normalcomputing.ai/posts/2023-07-27-regex-guide...). The basic idea is simple: regular expressions have an equivalent Deterministic-Finite Automaton (DFA) representation. We…
