Material SPA in Lisp with 500ms TTI and 11k gzipped

Fast loading material SPA test in LISP. Contribute to chr15m/speedy-spa development by creating an account on GitHub.

Material SPA in Lisp with 500ms TTI and 11k gzipped launched on November 6, 2017 with 12 votes, #979 of 3,137 launches that month and more than 75% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 8 years on.

In plain words

Material SPA in Lisp is a single-page application built with Lisp that implements Material Design principles. It achieves a time to interactive of 500 milliseconds and compresses to 11 kilobytes gzipped, making it lightweight and fast-loading. The project is available on GitHub and is suited for developers interested in Lisp-based web applications or those seeking a minimal, performant Material Design implementation.

    I wrote a technical history book on LispFeb 2026 · berksoft.ca · ▲252

    The book page links to a blog post that explains how I got about it (and has a link to sample content), but the TL&DR is that I could not find a lot of books that were on "our" history _and_ were larded with technical details. So I set about writing one, and some five years later I'm happy to share the result. I think it's one of the few "computer history" books that has tons of code, but correct me if I'm wrong (I wrote this both to tell a story and to learn :-)). My favorite languages are Smalltalk and Lisp, but as an Emacs user, I've been using the latter for much longer and for my…

  • Faster FastAPI with simdjson and io_uring on Linux 5.192023 · github.com · ▲290

    A few months ago, I benchmarked FastAPI on an i9 MacBook Pro. I couldn't believe my eyes. A primary REST endpoint to `sum` two integers took 6 milliseconds to evaluate. It is okay if you are targeting a server in another city, but it should be less when your client and server apps are running on the same machine. FastAPI would have bottleneck-ed the inference of our lightweight UForm neural networks recently trending on HN under the title "Beating OpenAI CLIP with 100x less data and compute". (Thank you all for the kind words!) So I wrote another library. It has been a while since I have…

    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…
