NodeAkt – Zero-dependency distributed actor framework for TypeScript

What it does

Typed actors, supervision, behaviors, a multi-core runtime, remoting, and clustering across nodes. Zero dependencies. No locks, just messages. An actor owns private state and a mailbox. The runtime delivers one message at a time, so that state needs no lock. Look up, spawn, and message actors on another node. TLS encrypts the carrier when you need it; enabling it hinders performance versus plaintext. Turn a set of nodes into one cluster. Spawn, address, and message actors by name across the cluster, and have a departed node's actors recreated on the survivors automatically. The whole library is built on the standard library alone. npm install brings exactly onefrom tochemey.github.io

  SOME HIGHLIGHTS. * We have a full supervision tree so actors can monitor other actors for exits and unhandled panic!s (at least the ones that can be caught) * The actor lifecycle is handled for you in a simple single-threaded, message handler primitive * You have a mutable state with each message handling call, so you have an easy way to create stateful actors and update that state as messages are processed * Actors talk to other actors by message passing, but there are remote-procedure-calls (RPCs) so actors can "ask a question" to another actor and wait on the reply. * A lot of the…

  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…

  Clipto MCP▲655

  Hey 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…

  Simple algorithm and color space to generate diverse skin tones▲627

  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…
