What it does
The code is now type-safe and will fail fast on unexpected input data. sanest is a Python library that makes it easy to consume, produce, or modify nested JSON structures in a strict and type-safe way. It provides two container data structures, specifically designed for the JSON data model: These features are very easy to use: with minimal code additions, otherwise implicit assumptions about the nesting structure and the data types can be made explicit, adding type-safety and robustness. sanest is not a validation library. It aims for the sweet spot between ‘let’s hope everything goes well’ (if not, unexpected crashes or undetected buggy behaviour ensues) and rigorous schema validation…from sanest.readthedocs.io

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…
