  • uDSV.js – A faster CSV parser2023 · github.com · ▲67

    Hey folks! I know CSV parsers (especially in JS) aren't terribly exciting and someone writes a "better" one every week. I'm in the middle of my parental leave, and this was a project that came out of me looking for the fastest/smallest CSV parser. It all started so innocently, and then turned into a benchmark-validation-athon; the library itself took ~2 weeks to write, but the performance comparisons took another ~4 weeks (on and off). The benchmarks were a huge effort, but I think they are the most thorough to date, both in breadth and in depth, so hopefully you find them useful:…

  • 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…
